Just got an Amazon Echo Dot [View all]

I have it set up, with the app on my laptop and it works, but it seems more fun to use the one my grand kids have at their house. After I set it up, I realized I could have set up the app on my laptop, as I did, and just talk to the laptop. I have Cortana on the laptop, but turned off. Maybe I could turn her back on and she and Alexa can talk to each other. lol
