Interesting new data on tech support scams...
If you haven't experienced a tech support scam, new data reveals that you are in the minority. https://staysafeonline.org/blog/new-data-reveals-two-thirds-of-global-consumers-have-experienced-tech-support-scams It's best to call local experienced computer techs that you can trust if you think there's something wrong with your computer.

I'm trying to feature a sample app in my App Portfolio for others to be able to copy and modify for their use. I've already copied my existing app and scrubbed the private data, but the App Portfolio information and instructions are out-of-date: https://appsheethelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205176038-Using-your-portfolio I don't currently see a switch to make it a 'Sample App'. Also my App Portfolio link just goes to a generic AppSheet page.

Warning: "Dell Technical Support" is back at cold calling people and telling them they are getting signals about problems with their computer. It's a SCAM! I told the guy that just called me that when he gets hit by a bus tomorrow maybe he'll think about all the people he's scammed. Shame on these scammers.

I was recently interviewed on another episode of Podnutz Daily http://podnutz.com/pnd468/
I think it was my 4th time on a Podnutz podcast, the first time was in August 2008 on Podnutz #22 http://podnutz.com/podnutz022/

The following annoyance started about the time I installed iOS 10 on my iPhone and does not happen on my Android phone...
After selecting the FIRST item from an Enum column, the keyboard will pop up. This does not happen when selecting anything but the first item.
Example below...
If I select "Repeat", the keyboard pops up and I have to press "Done" to dismiss it. But if I select anything besides "Repeat" it goes back to the table so I can select the next item - as it should.
