TEETHING TROUBLES

My new computer has arrived and I am finding its doings completely incomprehensible. My son set it up. but only up to a point! Quite apart from not being able to get in to my e mail,log on to Amazon,Ebay and several other vital sites, the new machine is so tiny that I can barely see what is on the screen ,even after much fiddling about.

 My son tells me that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread and yet it has no caps lock, which means that I have to hold down the shift key to write headings, a retrograde step as far as I am concered. While I admit that it is a cute little thing. the emphasis being on the word little, it does not play DVDs, I cannot download, and instead of having lots of memory I now have a cloud?

 I am realistic enough to know that there is every likelihood that I shall become accustomed to it.s strange ways but I have to admit that the Android mobile phone he talked my into purchasing a couple of years ago is still a mystery to me, apparently I do not touch the screen in the right way.

 Thank the Gods that my contract has now expired and I can acquire a nor simple communication device,one better suited to a little old lady, such as myself! That blasted Android phone has about a million apps, none of which are any use to me. Sat Nav... never go anywhere. It can sound like a guitar or a piano and hold endless bits of music. Great, but just try answering a call, one false tap and a load of information appears from nowhere and by the time you have sorted that out the phone has stopped ringing and you have to return the call.

 Not one of my friends has has to pay to converse with me since I acquired the pestiferous thing!! I have just discovered that I cannot upload photos on to this machine, which seems to me to be very little more advanced that the word processor I used about thirty years ago! Of course the fault lies with me, I am far too ancient,short sighted and computer illiterate to learn a load of new tricks.

In my favour however is the fact that I am as stubborn as a mule and I detest being beaten by anything, least of all a new bit of tec! I mean to soldier on….. even if it does take me a couple of hours to write a short blog……...and if I hit that blasted magnify key which is situated where the caps lock used to be the whole “ kit and billin” is going out of the window….and me after it!!!!!!
