Hi Arlene and List; I will be 67 years old come the end of this month. I will never stop trying to learn new concepts and I do my best to except change in a positive way. I’ve been using the Apple Echo system for 10 years.
It’s such a pleasure to be on this list and conversing with all these positive people. I haven’t had a computer for two years and, I don’t believe I would use one again unless I absolutely had to.
