Subj : Miss.RvrDamBreach-Davenpt To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Jan 24 2020 11:40:00 Hi Nancy! BM> NB> Until they come up again, I guess... ;) When they wil be the same but new and updated! BM>> As for the thumbdrives of pictures for my Mother and Aunt, I did find BM>> it took around a minute for the digital picture frame to load -- BM>> something I could sort of put up with knowing what was occurring in the BM>> background but the two who got sometimes confused by a remote control BM>> were too tempted to hit a button to get something going. Dividing BM>> pictures to multiple thumbdrives helped speed up the loading time, plus BM>> a little less fiddling with getting to a section/event. (I put the day BM>> trip to our visit with relatives in Slovakia on its own thumbdrive.) NB>> One does have to consider the audience... :) As long as they NB>> could handle switching thumbdrives for the next set of pictures, NB>> breaking it down makes a lot of sense for them... :) BM> Well when I sent the digital photo frame and thumbdrive last year my BM> Mother did her appreciative of the thought but we (my Aunt and Mother) BM> barely know how to operate a remote control, blah-blah-blah, excuse- BM> excuse-excuse for not using it. Me: "Did you read the letter?" My BM> Mother answered either "what letter" or "haven't had time yet". BM> Either way was a 'no'. My letter gave detailed instructions with BM> pictures, plus had Google-translated for my Aunt so they could talk BM> back-and-forth about it. Plus both have people who'd be able to help BM> just by looking at the things - no instructions needed. NB> You did what you could.... If they want to see the pictures, they NB> can figure it out or get someone to help them do so... possibly NB> even you, next visit... ;) That was pretty much my attitude. The "carrot on a stick" was view the pictures. Both my Mother and my Aunt have zero computer knowledge and seem to think they can't learn. OK, so I need to do something different; I selected a piece of hardware -- the digital picture frame -- which seemed to be ultra simple, and it doesn't look like it has anything to do with a computer. Wrote instructions that my Mother and Aunt should be able to understand. Both have people who can help. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
