Subject: [fb-exchange] Re: exchange meeting October 17th 2022
Hi Guys
It sounds like you had discussed a lot of idfferent topics and sounds very good.
I am sorry that I could not attend the meeting but busy with college work and
also fighting with an very sad and upsetting situation with college.
I have to study from home because college is not allowing me study in college
because I need assistance and they are not helping with this situation at all
and I do not annything and it seems like they are not listening to me. I am
very stressed because I do not know what is going on and I am missing the most
important information from teachers and advise too that would help me and like
studying at home it is not fair I am not learning fully like everyone and also
it is not right education too. This is not fair at all and I am tired of this
because any college I go they have a problem with me and I do not know who has
the problem.
Thanks and all the best

Hi All, from a cool and breezy south west Dublin.
On behalf of the Monday tech club, First of all our condolences to all
those families dealing with that awful tragedy in County Donegal.
It was really sad, and our thoughts and prayers go out to all those
people who were affected.
There were 9 participants for today’s exchange club.
Things got under way with holiday talk from Cearbhall, who recently
visited Tenerife, and Annette who was holidaying in France, then
staying a few days in the affluent suburb in London, namely Kensington.
Annette told us that her niece gave her father a Portal.
Nobody at the meeting knew what sort of device a Portal was, but its
small and one can make phone calls and so on on the device.
Annette said that she would find out if this is a branded machine,
and what exactly it can do , for the next meeting.
There was more talk on Book Share, by Tom (our mild mannered
participant from Galway, an image that would be shattered towards the
end of today’s meeting.
Stuart confirmed that he listened to Bookshare using voice dream
reader, and found it brilliant.
Tom would like to be able to use Bookshare the same as Stuart, and
will try and achieve this over the next week or so.
Tom, whose contact in the NCBI, said that Bookshare was primarily a
facility for students.
Albert brought up the subject of Skype which was invented in Riga
Latvia, I know this as I was in Riga and saw their headquarters at the time.
But Bert said that Skype although fully accessible was not as good
as it was before Microsoft bought the company.
Paul asked Bert and Annette why they used Skype rather than their
Face time app on their iPhone.
Annette gave the answer, because using Skype on their LAPTOP or
Desktop, with a much larger monitor, was vastly superior to Skype.
Both Annette and Bert also said that the sound quality on Skype was
much better than Face TIME.
Michael who lives in rural Kilkenny, had a very bad time recently
with the storms.
The storm ruined his 10 year old PC, as a surge in the electricity
due to the storms, blew up and destroyed his motherboard.
He does not know if insurance would compensate him as it’s an act of God.
Mary , Tom, and Bert entertained us with talk about their RING CALL
devices from Harry Norman and AMAZON.
Mary complained that Alexa which she uses to aid the Ring Call
device, keeps telling her that there is somebody at her door.
But most times there is nobody there. She things that the camera is
too sensitive and that her famous three , a Silver Birch could be
setting off the equipment by shedding some leaves near her camera.
Cearbhall suggested that perhaps she could move her Ringcall button to
the opposite side of the door, to see if this made a difference.
Tom said that he paid about 100 € for his bell, and thought it worth
while and would recommend anybody to buy and install a RINGCALL.
While this discussion was progressing we were all interrupted by manic
screams from quite Tom in Galway.
It seems that a bird entered his premesis without an appointment or
even his Ring call system informing him of his visitor.
Some strange language appeared at this time, perhaps a strange
ancient tongue from early Galway.
Suffice to say the meeting learned a number of strong words from the
man from the west.
Many people complained about the irrating messages that appear now
after some ios updates, that is double click to engage the context
menu or click to dismiss.
This is very annoying and nobody knows how one can get rid of this
tiresome message.
That’s all folks
Paul
