I'm on Mint, which should be acting exactly the same.

I have tried everything now. UNless someone has some other idea. FWIW I did connect briefly to the very first zoom 6 months or so ago.

Sorry - I can't think of anything else to suggest.

I am usin g the latest zoom version for ubuntu. Still, Zoom has joined the list of the worst ever software. Not in the big league of Nortons which is the heavyweight garbage software of all time, but Zoom is a close second.

Sorry that light crystal could not get in. Shutting my iPad down then bringing it back up did work. However, it should not be that way.

And it was a short session tonight. Phil has shut it down. Sorry you couldn't make it.

I am so sorry about the mix up on the Zoom links. Technology, no mater how simple, seems to confuse me.

It's not your fault. It is woeful software. What a software developer should do is to make a flow chart of what happens if a user does something. But it's clear to me that whoever developed Zoom did not do this.

Hoping we’ll be able to have a Zoom get together the usual first Monday of the month. Maybe I’ll actually have done something LibriVoxy by then.

Phil, as they say in Honolulu: "Don't sweat the small stuff." Just keep on Keepin' on.

A historical question" what did you hope to gain by instituting the Registration Process? Can it be removed?

yep. June 6th. 11 am and 11 pm. I will post the link, hopefully the same one as before, in coming weeks.

lightcrystal... did you say 'now i'm cooking with gas"? Havent heard that in a long time. It was my mom's favorite saying
