A NEW COMPUTER FORCES NEW LEARING
Time to learn something new. Well having a computer crash and buying a new one brings on forced learning- new icons and where to find things has taken the best part of two hours. Some how I did find my blogger dashboard. Yeah for new learning. Just hope when I log out I will find it again. No photos as I need to learn how to upload and where to store them. I thought I would have to reconfigure everything. I remember the first time I had to configure my email addresses. Then they went from shaw to home to rogers in the period of a couple of months. Turning on this new computer and the latest Microsoft program it came on-well -I had to hunt for some things and get used to the new tabs. I am still happy I found my blog site and am writing a quick post. The hard part is they could not transfer my files from my old computer. So some of my writing is lost. Good thing I like to print all my stuff and save on hard copy. A matter of retyping or inputting as it is now called! Of course all my photos are on my memory cards or previous CDs. I did have tons saved on the old computer so maybe I will discriminate about how many I want to upload. Oh yeah, the guy at the store said no one uses CDs anymore. I like to tell people that one can use as many items as needed. Just because it is new does not make it better. I am too stressed to try to upload any photos tonight. Just hope my camera does not crash. By the way, I opted for a PC as I like to use the computer-well in my computer room with all my books, dictionary, notes. It is a contained mess or maybe organized clutter with my piles of relevant items. I can close the door so the rest of the house that is fairly neat does not get affected. I also like the space as it allows great light during the day and for some reason I get more writing and work done in this contained space. Of course creative ideas are found everywhere. Thus my little notes that I make anywhere and everywhere. I am always thinking about what I will write on my next post. So this one has been a little rambling but I can write faster now as there are fewer glitches. It seems the technology has improved since we purchased the last computer 8 years ago. So I have to figure out so many things. If I had a few days at home then it would be easier. I have to understand how to use the system well because teaching my husband about all the changes will be a different task.
