This sounds like it was very informative. Unforftunately, I could never figure out how to regbistger.
Since there are more of these seminars coming up in the future, if someone could please explain again how to register, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, and I hope everyone has a blessed and safe Thanksgiving.

Hi,
I attended the seminar. It went a little fast for me. I was trying to take notes. Since I don't know how to do chat in Zoom, I wrote emails to the person in charge. He surprised me and conveyed my thoughts to the presenters in a very organized way; not typical of me, hahaha.
They did present a lot of news I never heard of; other speakers besides Alexa and other things Alexa can do than I realized. That info is on Amazon. Things are changing so much in that field, especially since people are at home so much more than before.
I am so thankful for Zoom. It has made it possible for me to keep in touch with people, besides phone and email, and for me to attend way more meetings than I could before covid.
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!
