au tries to save “garakei” memories, LINE’s been formatted to fit your screen & things are “popping up” at Amazon. Plus: cool train history, follow-up on prepaid cards & how to choose home internet service! All this & more on this week’s #ZettaiGeekDayo!
As always, if you have any comments, questions or topics you’d like me to cover, please tweet them at me @kayleedayo on Twitter with the hashtag #ZettaiGeekDayo so I can find them.
