Treading Water

Well, let's see.  What have I learned over the weekend?  I guess mainly that I wish I was 14 again so all this "advanced technology" would truly be child's play for me.  But I'm not, and it's not.

I have managed to buy and download my first book to my Nook.  Haven't had a chance to start reading it.....must make sure I know what all the buttons do.  And gosh...there's only about 5 to know.  So right now I know 3.  Good.  That's progress.

The laptop is up and running.  I'm using it now.  But none of my "stuff" from the old computer is on there......had to buy a Windows 7 book to try to learn from for all that.  Today, I feel like the Oz Scarecrow...........straw stuffing and all.

Electronic Toy Overload

Oh my.  I have Swiss cheese brain this afternoon.  And I think the holes will only get larger.

I got my new B&N Nook e-reader late yesterday afternoon.  YEA!  It was my Christmas present.  Of course, I can't really use it yet because I have to wait for the the nice Geek Squad guy to get here Friday with the wireless router and all the other whatevers it will take to get the new laptop up and running.  I'm hoping it's going to be as simple for me as it was when the B&N guy demonstrated it for me way back in December.

So, I got out the new HP this afternoon and set it up, ready and waiting for Friday.  Took a quick tour of Microsoft Works..........oh my dear.  This is going to be like learning "how to computer" all over again.  Fifteen minutes and my head was in a twirl.  I had to shut down and go get a drink.  I know I'll get it.  The question is, WHEN? 

Deep breaths, Donna........DEEP BREATHS.
