  • I guess how new are you talking? I think this said it was based on the 2019 release, but I haven’t heard much about recent releases. Winamp 2 was the classic one most people remember. Winamp 3 was a rewrite that was supposed to be better under the hood but a lot of people didn’t like it, mainly for the new interface it seemed. They jumped to Winamp 5 (2+3) to restore much of the old interface while keeping the capabilities of 3. I never had issues with 5 and continued to use it through Windows 7. Haven’t used Windows much since then so I don’t know how it runs now. There have been very rare point updates since AOL took over and later sold it, mostly bugfixes.















  • I know nothing about the stand, but it sounds like you should get the 9th gen and be prepared to replace both the stand and the iPad in 2 years. That is to say: go with the iPad that will be supported longest. You’re handling people’s financial data on there so you shouldn’t be using a device that’s not getting security updates. You’re risking their data and potentially opening yourself up to liability if your device is breached.





  • I was a longtime Android user, but had used Macs at work for a long time and eventually started doing so at home. I tried Windows and Android tablets but always found them lacking compared to my experience with others’ iPads. I always suspected if I got an iPad I would eventually switch to iPhone. Eventually I was gifted a basic one and about a year later when Google dropped support for my Pixel that was perfectly fine hardware-wise I made the switch. It was by no means the only reason or even the strongest reason, but the integration between Mac, iPhone, and iPad that generally works really well is a tough selling point to beat once you get on one of them. The much longer software support than Android (at the time) was probably the strongest selling point. Now that the Pixels are guaranteed much longer support I could conceivably see myself getting one and putting Graphene on it, perhaps as a second phone, but I have no need to. Apple has basically fixed all my annoyances from when I switched.
