*Joyful squeeing sounds*

I have spent the past two days attempting to link my new Apple Music account with my Alexa, and I finally broke down and called the Apple disability line, who said that was an Amazon problem, so then I called the Amazon disability helpline, and the person who answered said that was an Echo problem, and so I finally ended up with Hailey, who is a goddess, and even called me back twice when I got popped out of the Alexa app and couldn't find how to get back to it unless I was not also in a phone call.

And once Hailey had walked me through the Alexa app settings until I found the Apple Music skill, it all went smoothly. When we got to testing whether it actually was linked and would work, I asked for Kermit Ruffins and Alexa gave me Kermit. Then I apologized to Hailey for making ecstatic squeeing sounds in her ear.

So, five stars for Amazon's disability helpline!

Why is useful tech support so rare that it rates its own tag.
