\nI’m pretty good with sniffing out software issues, but that only came with years of banging my head against the cyber wall and learning from mistakes.
\nFortunately for all of us, Peter is amazingly talented with electronics, especially computers.
\nLast night, he was able to repair my cell phone, which had decided it wasn’t able to send calls or to turn itself off.
