Hello
I work or worked as a registered nurse.
I have difficulty with expressing myself due to a recent stroke.
I am unaware of what has been going on with technology in the past 10 years.
I used to only purchase Android smartphones and then switched to iPhone out of convenience. I find much of Android to be more intuitive.

I found this site because I performed a web search for a phone number with a (646) area code. It was a text message from whomever asking me to come to a barbecue.

According to this website I should be suspicious.

More about me: I became interested in computers when my dad bought me and my brother an IBM PC jr back in the 1980s. I loved it but wanted a Commodore 64. We also subscribed to a magazine called Family Computing and there was a small section where you could enter code. I was 7 or 8 at the time and stopped when real life set in.

I hope I gave a good introduction. This forum is very useful for someone like me. Thank you from Boots.
