So I'm seeing a lot of interest. I know (or think I know) that FaceTime doesn't scale up so well with larger numbers of people. Although it's not the only choice, I suggest we try Zoom first.
I propose scheduling a test conference sometime tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday--which day is best for any and, ideally, all of you? Pick a day, and I'll set it up and we can have our little shakeout cruise of Zoom. Mike On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 3:36 PM Aubrey Carter <aubreycar...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Mike! > Great idea.
