I'm in to help, either way.
If the Neo, Apple offers a Veteran discount. I'm already registered for that, if it helps. No-cost shipping (with gift option), direct from Apple.
I would agree with (and contribute to) the Neo. One thing to consider is that the Neo does not have a backlit keyboard.

Pipe SmokerMy bank has Zelle, but I’ve not used it before. I’m thinking it requires a cell phone number or an email address for the recipient. Correct? If so, which is the better method?

12131^^^^ Either one will work equally fine.

Pipe SmokerI’ve never used Zelle before, but I
think I have it set up now. So the procedure is to send money via Zelle to the email address in Artie’s Member Profile?

Ask/get confirmation from him if that’s the same email he uses for Zelle. If not, you might be sending money to nowhere.
Sometimes, people have the same email for several purposes, but many times they have different emails for different uses, so it’s always best to ask and not assume.

What say you, Artie?

12131^^^ Unless the person wants to publicly announce it, I’d say, that’s the question you should be asking privately. Personally, I wouldn’t announce on the forum what my PP address is, or what my Zelle number/email are.

More to follow.
Thanks all.
