- Been able to keep pretty much to date this holiday, thanks to the almost ubiquitous free wifi in the states.

- Third party iPad camera connection kit - £3. Snapseed from the AppStore - £2.99. £6 for the kind of thing you used to need photoshop for.

- "Dad, if we wash the cars and go for a cycle, will you install that new texture pack?". 10 year olds have changed since I were a lad.

- I've spent two solid evenings on the phone to the states, sorting out holiday accom. Total cost - about £0.80, thanks to google voice.
