You can manage your zoom and other conference calls without asking for help, thank you! You even remember to mute and unmute appropriately (most of the time).

strangely enough, I am still the tech help for my nerdy high school student, electrical engineer college student, and software engineer husband! :muscle: :muscle:

So…years ago on a long plane trip when they had trivia contests between passengers that showed up on the TV screen. My family was separated rows apart. It was a “music trivia” contest. At the end–row 19, seat B won! And it was me! I stood up and waved to my kids and I wish I had a video of their faces. I certainly grew in stature that day!

Yep, my family thinks I’m the tech help (medical help, plumbing help, you name it). It’s called Google, my friends. Not hard, just sort out the trash posts. I’m not smart, just resourceful. (There’s alway’s a way to MacGyver a problem. Wait, did I just age myself with that?)
