Those of us who are Macintosh enthusiasts (and who don’t think of the Mac simply as an appliance), and who participate on e-mail discussion lists and/or in Mac User Groups, tend to be baby boomers. And we are aging out, or dying out. Younger folks are, generally, not replacing us. Lots of folks who used to dominate this discussion list, and others that I’m on, have disappeared. Some years ago. A few of the lists that I’m on have become moribund. If I don’t post to them, no one else does. Even my Mac discussion list for Mac-using attorneys is lagging. Younger attorneys aren’t joining. In fact, new subscriptions have just about entirely stopped. We have a local Macintosh User Group in (nearby to me) Davis. It is within a few blocks of the U.C. Davis campus. Yet we have been unable to attract a single student. It’s all boomers. I suspect that 10 years or so from now that all of these Macintosh discussion lists will be gone, and probably just about all Mac user groups too. __________________________________________________ Randy B.

Ellen Hi Ellen, Interesting saga with your headphones issues. I could be wrong, but going back to mini-plugs, lightning, and even USB-C, can't one still plug in wired headphones directly if they are matching jacks and plugs? There are specific advantages of having wired headphones, so I hope they keep them around.? I dread the day when Apple decides to eliminate ALL physical ports, for whatever reason, but I hate to say it, I think they want to got he route of bluetooth and wireless charging, and thus could claim no need for any physical ports.? What are people saying about this, or am I totally off-base? All the best, John?
Re: Searching for an adapter Ellen Lerner All Messages By This Member #113095 I bought headphone adapters on Amazon. Offhand I don’t remember what I paid, but it was very inexpensive. The first one was for iPhones before the latest new iPhones and then I re-ordered because I bought an XV iPhone I needed a different adapter. Adapter has ability to hook up the earphone and also has a connect to hook up to the regular computer adapter. I hope that eventually the headphone adapters will get reinstated into newer phones. In case you’re interested I also bought a new Roku TV remote which allows me to attach my Headphone into the remote so I can listen to TV privately.

Re: Searching for an adapter Dana Hunter All Messages By This Member #113090 t looks like it would work, but I’m not sure about the charging aspect. The adapter is meant to connect the digital piano to the iPad. I just need the adapter to have a headphone jack. Thanks. I’ll search the site and see if there’s anything similar without the charging aspect.

Apple doesn’t make or encourage it. I’m trying to see if there’s an adapter where I can put an 3mm jack and USB into a lightning USB-C.?
