Hey Chris; What happened? I bought a Dell tablet and it has a camera and speakers and all the good stuff so it can skipe. I tried to tune into the Fri. night discussion and it said I had to have a "table top " computer. If I didnât have bad luck I wouldnât have any luck at all TomC
Not sure Tom, it generally works on tablets just fine.
Shoot me a message sometime when youâre having trouble, Iâll try and assist.

EDIT: This week marks our 3rd anniversary of the Friday 4pm hangouts! Looking forward to the next 3 years!
Out of the office this evening, will need someone else to start the hangout. Just copy the link above and put it in a new post below.
You all probably know Iâm not technically knowledgeable. A long time ago, I say the Friday Hangout and clicked on it. Low and behold, I ended up seeing Chris live on my computer. I had no camera or microphone, so I kind of sat stupidly. Chris saw I was on and realized the situation and started talking to me and got me to answer by typing. It was kind of fun until others came in with cameras and I guess took up some of the band width or something. I was getting over run, so I had to bale out.
Then while a Wally World I saw microphones, cheep. I got one and got hooked up to my computer. I was able to get on the Hangout again and I could see them and I could TALK to them. They couldnât see me ( which probably was to their benefit )
Then I made the BIG move and got a Pad to use upstairs while my wife always reads. It had a camera and a microphone and speaker, the whole nine yards, I thought. I was excited to get on the Hangout, but to my surprise, I got a message, that I had to have a desk top to participate. Later Chris told me that shouldnât be. On another Fri. I tried again and got the same message, but this time it said I could get on if I did this and did that and did something else. So I tried doing all of that not knowing if it was working or not. This Fri. came and I remembered, so I tried to get on again with all my bells and whistles in line, I hoped. I clicked on to DOW on Fri. all full of anxiety. SURPRISE, Chris wasnât on. Iâll get there someday, maybe, I hope. ( you guys canât hide from me for ever) TomC

Hey Tom, I donât think it has to be Friday night. Google hangout is always there as long as those that participate know about it. Maybe we should try it sometime.

Absolutely Don!!! What do we have to do? First I do need to confirm that my computer will work. I enjoy seeing you sitting back in you easy chair. Maybe Chris will set up a conversation with me to test my computer. Then I guess we can e-mail each other through DOW â I donât have your direct e-mail.
JO I am no storyteller. Iâm just stating the factsâ nothing but the facts. ( from and old TV showâ Badge 714; or something) TomC
