      The return of Drop-In Time! A weekly thread about teaching technology in Central VT. I do two drop-in times one at a library and one at a hs tech center. They are free (I fundraise to pay myself, thanks @ftrain). There are 5000 people in my town, these are their tech problems...

      Ultimately she has to call Consumer Cellular. Usu. I coach ppl thru these calls but for people over 80 I make an exception. We call, troubleshoot, determine phone is broken, learn to unforward land line. "You can get live help at Target but where is Target?" 65 miles away...

      Next woman has Chromebook she loooooves, but wants to learn about the cloud. We talk about the three "major clouds" (Apple, MIcrosoft, Google) and how it's just a corporate computer. Give her suggestions for syncing photos from desktop/phone/laptop in three different OSes.pic.twitter.com/tgCoh52eii

      Also paid in this Kliban box set. "Genghis and Sylvia Khan" 😂 Next day at library. I show up early to unload some cheese (they give healthy snacks to after school kids) and hey hey E is back! "Didn't you get my email?" "Huh?" "Oh I forgot to send it...." He thinks he's late...pic.twitter.com/7Wwu5TYnFZ

      set of three Kliban books featuring an image on the front including a Genghis Khan sort of looking guy with a suburban New Jersey looking woman.
