Since I’m an old geezer myself, this makes me a little jealous of Leo. I don’t have any “adopted daughters” working in web technology. As you might already know, Leo has been advising people with their PC and Mac problems/issues for a number of years, and is currently making advances in live video computer tech podcasting.
