   Thanks for the additional conferencing recommendations,   
   but as you can see from   
      https://www.njcourts.gov/jurors/zoominstruc.html   
   they're using zoom and want you (i.e., me) to use it, too.   
   (And the physical snailmail letter I originally received   
   suggested that some of the additional proceedings might also be   
   virtual. They'll apparently be mailing me "further instructions"   
   about that at some point, but didn't provide any further elaboration   
   about it in the first letter.)
