1. Wow!

I would not have thought of that, nor have found it, in a million years.

I don't use McAfee, obviously.

As for your other post, on removing Safari on ios, you couldn't do that on older versions of ios, like my Ipad ONE, that stopped getting updates around version five-something.

Still great for reading books and piano scores, which is why I got it in the first place.

Glad you found what you were looking for!
