[Perform-Talk] computer questions

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I've been using skype for the past several years or so.  I don't use
it as much as I once did, but I use it every time I help a friend of
mine download bard books on her victor stream.  I don't use jaws
scripts for it, and I find it usable and I don't have much trouble
with it.  I also use the zoom app on my iPhone which I actually like
better then using zoom via the computer.
