this morning an MTS tech came out and installed a booster for the internet signal…

he felt that it solved the problem perfectly, but I am not so sure… still taking a long time for some things to load, sigh…

the best news was that my son-in-law showed me how to chromecast my photos onto my tv… my other son-in-law taught me the first time, lol…

I love learning (and relearning) new technology… wrote the instructions down this time so hopefully I won’t forget them…

spent time checking out other technology while enjoying some chocolate and almonds;-)…

got some fun toys over the last week…

first this cool leef gadget… it sticks into the phone and copies whatever is on it, then plugs into the laptop and copies the contents onto the computer… it also acts as storage for my phone…

very quick and easy… think that it is going to be much simpler than connecting a cord to the computer and trying to find the phone before being able to copy over photos and other data… such fun;-)…

also got a much larger hard drive so my computer will stop telling me it is out of room… possibly it thinks I take too many pictures…

and last, but not least, a chromecast… 

just learned about this a few days ago… it streams media from the phone or laptop… I can now watch Netflix from the bedroom, using my phone… very cool…

picked up everything now so that my son-in-law could get it all working before he heads home from holidays…

testing it all to be sure I can work it without any problems when I’m on my own, lol…
