Good morning folks
Here in the US a lot of counties issue students laptops and tokens at the beginning of the school year and collect them when the year is over. I don't think ours does, but am not sure. In this area, there are whole generations that have never had a computer, because internet was expensive and hard to find. So they went from phones connected to the wall to smartphones and skipped the whole computer thing. It's taken four years to get fiber installed here and ooooh what a difference it makes. It used to take me a half hour to an hour to upload one of my reports at work, not it takes less than a minute.
On a sadder note, I'm going to ask for prayers and support for one of our BYC Mods. @sumi is a good friend and a major force behind BYC. She's battling Brain Cancer and could use all the prayers we can give. Here's the thread where we've been keeping track of her. It might be good to read the first post and then the last post made by @TwoCrows. Reading the whole thread would be quite the undertaking, but is still a good read. I'm worried about her and I do believe in the power of prayer.
I’m sorry to hear about Sumi. ☹
