Posted by Books on 3/9/18 at 6:17 am
Asking for someone who’s only need is to check emails, browse the internet and Skype. No need to Microsoft applications like Word or excel. Is there a particular laptop with only these basics or is a tablet more ideal? This is for an older person not especially tech savvy. ...

PC is great for overall investing snapshots and cash flow, but their portfolio performance tracking needs work. Told them I really liked their website but handle my own finances/investing. He said he would remove me from their call list and asked me to give them a call if I ever wanted help. ...
