[OPLINTECH] Help with digital advestisement

[Don Yarman]

We do an even poorer man's version: we load image files on a USB

                Delaware County District Library

Currently listening to "Waistcoats & Weaponry" by Gail Carriger,
and reading "The Necromancer's House" by Christopher Buehlman.
