[Electronics-talk] Thanks - I added my picture to Uber app

[River Linda]

Hello,


Thanks for directions for adding and other suggestions. I was going to use
Uber this morning, but the rate was three times the normal fare, so I had
to call a regular taxi to get to my destination.

Hopefully, I will be able to use the app at the regular fare on another
day. Take care.

Linda
