My friend Sheral got a new computer from her kids for Christmas. I have been helping her get a few things set up and showing her how to use a few others. One of things she wanted was Skype, so she can talk to the grand kids. This has been quite a process for us, but today was the day we finally got it up and working. First, we tried doing it from their campsite, but the connection speed was to slow. Next we went to the library, but their system blocks anything that has to do with "chat" and there is no over ride available. So, we went to McDonald's and they pulled through for us. We had a lovely morning drinking our McFlurry's and working on our computers. When we finished it was time for lunch so we just hung around a little longer and enjoyed a nice lunch together. We decided McDonald's is a pretty nice spot for us to meet and help her. Not only is it a very nice new location, but coffee and food are close by. They don't allow those things at the library.
