Thank you for attending our Smartphone/Tablet SIG tonight.

Ron's topic was, "Organizing Your Smartphone". He was fabulous, as always.

We greatly appreciate these knowledgeable APCUG members attending. I've got Ron's tip on Google Drive and the camera all set up. I think it's something I'm going to make great use of. I get so stoked when I learn something fabulous like that tip!

Ron Brown.....you are AWESOME!

The one thing to do with receipts.

This video is made with my Android Pixel 3 phone. The software is available for both Android and IOS phones. If you scan a receipt but are not connected to the internet, the software will store the information on your smartphone and update Google Drive or One Drive when you connect. On May 18-2020 Microsoft changed a feature in the OneDrive APP that lets you scan up to 10 pages that will be uploaded and saved as a single PDF file. This feature was only available if you paid for a Microsoft 365 account but is now free for everyone. I am happy to give this presentation on How to digitally store your receipts to your club.

This presentation was presented at APCUG's Virtual Technology Conference on Mar 2 - 2020. I discuss shopping APPS used at Sams Club, Kroeger-Fry's, Walmart, and Google Chrome. Amazon Fresh is a new way to purchase on-line groceries. Payment methods are reviewed and the importance of PayPal discussed. What should you not purchase on Amazon and how do you initiate an Amazon Return? If you have any problems I discuss how Amazon will phone you. This is a great 45 minutes presentation that I would be happy to give to your club

The risk of Stroke or Cardiac Pacemaker insertion go up very quickly as we pass the age of 60. I am a physician with 30 years of experience helping people recover after these disabling conditions. Health care monitoring with wearable technology has made a big change in preventing injury. In this presentation I discuss the Apple and Android watches that are monitoring more than just your steps. This talk has been very popular and will have a huge impact on your club. In February I gave this presentation to a group and the man that followed my advice wrote me a very emotional thank you. He was alerted by his watch and went to ER where he was admitted to ICU. The cardiologist said he wouldn't have made the night. I am happy to give this presentation to your club.

This video shows you how to get the pictures from a photo album into Google Photos quickly. I did 153 pictures in 13 minutes !!! This is a technique you can use to make a Google Photos Album out of your old picture books.
