[pianotech] Google groups

[Terry Beckingham]

Well Dean, I tried so many things that I don't really know how I was 
successful. Someone( I'm sorry I don't remember who) sent an email with a 
link to join the Google Groups pianotech list. I tried several times 
without success.

I ended up deleting my gmail account and tried again. This time I got a 
page that wanted my info including my current email address (not the gmail 
that I had before). I was then able to make a new Google account which 
would allow me to use my xplornet address rather than my old gmail address. 
 From there it worked easily.

I did have to give my date of birth and my phone number. I got a 
verification number by phone which I had to insert into their web site. 
Then bingo! it worked.

I wish I had kept the url that was posted for joining, but I can't find 
that post. It might have been from Paul McLoud, but I'm not sure.

Terry Beckingham (probably a klutz)
