Wow! You are correct - my Calendar app menu now has three color options - one color option for my personal (local) entries, one color for birthdays and one color for US holidays. Apparently, I was trying to configure this when I was not connected to a network and there was only the option for my...

Thanks! That worked. I couldn't get the right-click method to work (I think because the app license had expired). Anyway, all is good after a week of trying to remove that stubborn SOB.

I downloaded a free app from the MS Store but then discovered it was only free for the trial period. Now I can't figure out how to remove it! Anyone?

That's interesting - at the bottom of that article it says "More: 10 Must-Buy Tablets". And the MS Surface Pro is listed as a "must-buy".

In the settings menu there is a choice of color for the app. When I change the color to something else, the tile still appears purple and the appearance of the app (once opened) appears to not have changed. What is the color choice in the Calendar settings designed to change?

Yes, it's much more powerful and versatile than I imagined it would be.

I purchased another Pro charger because I was concerned that the lifespan of the built-in battery might be affected if it was charged at a slower rate or if the load caused by intensive use while the battery was also attempting to charge might possibly drop the voltage below the optimum charge...

An iPhone doesn't have enough screen resolution to display maps in the manner I require.

It appears to me that any GPS/Mapping application used on the Surface Pro would be greatly handicapped if it were not touch enabled (especially for zoom and scroll). Otherwise I would want the keyboard attached or a mouse or stylus. Then I would need the SP mounted. I imagine if the scroll...

Sounds like a "yes" to me.

People who worry about scratching the protective case of a portable computer really need a little bigger perspective on life. That's what the case is for (to take the inevitable scratches and bumps). Of course, I never use screen protectors on my devices and, guess what, never had a scratch...

Yes, Surface Pro has tactile feedback. Check your settings menu to see if it's disabled.

I don't recall receiving any sort of notification. I think I would remember something like that. The Windows networking security options seem very complicated and yet they only have bare bones explanations as to what each setting actually does. I don't see how anyone but an IT security...

Is there any potential harm from pairing with another device (assuming I have no reason to trust that the intentions are good)? How likely is it that two devices would pair without anyone intending them to pair? Are there settings I can adjust so this does not continue to happen? Thanks!

While browsing the "PC Settings" under "devices" I noticed I had a new device installed on my MS Surface Pro called "Lee s pad" (it has a computer icon). When I touch the icon it says it was installed on a WiFi network I use a few days ago. I do not know Lee. Should this be possible? Do I...

Agreed. In my experience it's better to go into the return process with an optimistic attitude. Believing the worst (receiving a beat up exchange without any supporting evidence) does not help at all. I imagine you will end up with a fully functioning unit that is identical to the one that died.
