Keith,

Kewel! I ordered from Amazon a "USB C to USB Adapter [2-Pack], Thunderbolt 3
to USB 3.0 OTG Adapter Compatible MacBook Pro,Chromebook,Pixelbook,Microsoft
Surface Go,Galaxy S8 S9 S10 Plus,Note 8 9,LG V35 G7 G6 Thinq,Pixel 2
3(Grey)" because it looked like it would allow me to move her /home files on
the old Sony Vaio to Drive on the Chromebook (or at Google's server,
perhaps).

background I'd use my projector, too.

Good information. Thank you.

Stay well,
