  • Logitech Harmony 650 Remote

    Lori could not learn the process I had for watching a movie on the blu-ray or on VUDU. Geeez what is her problem?  Using a combination of three remotes, 27 button pushes, and moving one wire (just kidding)….it was easy! She wanted me to write the process down….well, I do not have time to write…

  • Skype Video Review

    Updated: 3/31/2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Stay Safe! Social Distancing Works. It took me awhile to get to Skype.  Not sure why, but, I’m glad I finally tested it.

    Update August 2023: This is a HISTORY lesson on videoconferencing. Be careful of the links! Enjoy!
