Left about 8am, had a nice coffee and pastry at Midtown. About 9, hit FOPAL where Frank had collected a bunch of old software donations, including some Adobe stuff that he thought might be valuable. I priced through it. Prior to 2013, when you bought Adobe Photoshop, or Illustrator or whatever, you bought it. From 2013, Adobe only sells annual subscriptions, you rent your software not buy it. So the pre-2013 versions, provided they have their product serial number you need to install them, are valuable. There were a couple of those. Some other stuff I marked at $10 or $5 and set aside for the VCF next week.
About 11 I went to the main room where I found with some dismay there were 7 boxes of computer book donations. So I spent 2 hours pricing and shelving those.
Treated myself to a burger and shake at In’n’Out, then went home where I thought I was supposed to set up mics for a memorial service at 3, only turns out it was at 2 (not my mistake) and I was just in time, at 1:45, to get the auditorium set up. The memorial was for a woman I never met, she’d been in the AL center for years; and it was a standard religious service with bible readings and hymns, so I sat out in the lobby until they were done, and shut the auditorium down. And went to my room and had a long nap.
Watched a little bit of Olympics but I really can’t muster much interest in it.
