It all started in college in my required public speaking class. Get in front of 10 people and share something about yourself. It seems easy enough and I know people do it all the time.

I am device-challenged. And I don’t like the experience of buying electronics of any kind. For many years, I have not had to make those choices or decisions myself as there was someone else who took care of those things. But that has changed, which made my foray into the Apple store a little frightening for me.
