mommusic - The photo frame sounds nice! In our case I’m encouraging laptop because dad will need an indoor hobby as he gets older, less able to do his outdoor puttering. Also, the phone is getting harder due to hearing aid issues,

We had a great visit with my dad. We opted to stay with gmail, despite the cluttered interface. Dad gets used to it with repetition. His begger challenges are with keyboard and mouse. We added some more labels.

SOLUTION - My son installed the CrossLoop application (free) on his laptop and dad’s laptop. That seems to work great for remote view of dad’s screen. Dad just needs to start the app and read us 12 digit number to input at our end. I’ll install it at home - then I’ll be able to “drive” dad’s laptop while we are on the phone troubleshooting.
