      Susan "Did something..." 🙄and now "...my tracphone is linked to facebook?" I did not know this was a thing, but a quick Google and we learn how to undo it. She also has audio files from a voice recorder app that she wants in Google Play Music. This is harder than you might thinkpic.twitter.com/Y80BJBiYK9

      Sandy #2 needs a new signature file in Thunderbird since she has retired as head of The 251 Club. I installed an add-on that allows for multiple sig files and now I change a sig for her every few years. She wants green text so I add the HTML hex codes for it. #009900pic.twitter.com/yrA3x69Zy6

      Tony & Karen are last and have a never-ending list of questions. How to get Word Docs into Google Docs so they can both edit them? Why isn't Tony's AOL email importing into his phone "Did you change the password?" "Yes" "OK that's why" BUT IT IS NOT. Not sure what fail mode is...

      ... but I suspect it's the 50,000 emails in Tony's AOL inbox. Can't prove it (also could be their servers, who knows how creaky those things are?). Also his backup drive won't work in his new laptop, suspect it's the USB-C-> everything dongle he has. It works on my laptop.pic.twitter.com/WHgHE12kqO

      I take a photo so I can tell them if there is a no-dongle cable solution that will work for them, promise to send them an invoice for when I stopped to see him in the hospital (probably won't). Head home and prepare for my digital divide/empowerment talk for Thursday.

      Run into Harold at the library & he said the meetup went well, I am so stoked. E is here. His laptop is out of charge. Librarian has a cable but "She's talking to people!" I coach him how to politely interrupt & ask to borrow a cable. Terry is here wanting to make an email list.pic.twitter.com/w0rynHBISr

      Friends of the Library does all their emailing by CC'ing everyone. She wants an alias so she can email everyone w/o typing in their emails. They are not in her contacts. In gmail, you have to put them in contacts first (NO LOVE). I explain Google Groups, she wants no part of it.pic.twitter.com/DaYGXdmxo4

      She has backup and cloud questions. She's storing her photos in iCloud AND Google Drive (did not know she was doing either). We talk about how the cloud is just someone else's computer, and I show her how Time Machine backs up "Does it back up when my drive isn't connected?" "No"

      E sorts his driver bits while I help Fred get his POP3 email from UVM, a job he just left. Gmail claims it will import it, and affix labels, but will it really? We import 300 emails but only seven get labeled. Whyyyyy? (NO LOVE) He shows me pix of his camp as we wait for progresspic.twitter.com/lqGPSWIywa

      He's about to show me his wildlife cam, but the library is closing. We pack up while talking about all the old film projectors that the VT Historical Society has and happily trade some librarian gossip. I give E a ride home, climb up into my treehouse, finish up my talk. EOM 💗pic.twitter.com/BZJ7zfo5MM
