John, thank you again for all the technical assistance you have given me. I really appreciate it. I was never trained on how to use all these devices. Again, if I can find a beginners class, I am claiming a spot! Here where I live college is free if you are over 65. All you need are the books and room in the class so the professor is comfortable!
Have a lovely weekend. Stay warm!

Good morning Mamacita @mamacita, I am excited to see this discussion that you started become so active. Greetings from South Eastern Minnesota where it's brignt, sunny and currently 5 degrees but it is supposed to get up to a high of 24 degrees today. We have a dusting of snow almost covering the ground and it's starting to look a little like Christmas even though we haven't celebrated Thanksgiving yet. Does your local school district have a Community Education Department? They have that here in Minnesota and they normally offer some great adult education on computers and social media for us Oldies but Goodies.
I had not heard of Jeanette Purkis Au mentioned in your previous post but I did a little searching and maybe these links will help.
