[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Yahoo Emails in Outlook

Sun Aug 20 20:16:55 PDT 2023

Yes. Got it. I asked her to send me a screen capture because the gmail UI
in Outlook is totally unfamiliar to me.

I've been Apple all the way since my first 128K Macintosh, purchased in
1984. My son was at U Penn at the time, and was able to purchase two at
student discounts. It seemed a miracle back then. Given what people are
willing to pay for that original, I wish I had kept it. I'm on my 9th
iteration now.
