[Magdalen] Another question

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thanks, Jim. My question really has more to do with how all the pictures got on my Kindle in the first place when I didn't put them there.

Re the FB question, I don't understand how posting what I thought were just 9 specific pictures caused 81 to be downloaded from something called ios.
