LAPTOP

        As I have reminded you before, that I have a new laptop. It's not always cooperative. I had to get my friend to help set it  up when it got stubborn and wouldn't do anything.

       Windows 11 is new to me and so is the laptop. So working with these two new situations and then finding my way back to previous settings has been a problem.

      One thing that wouldn't come back, even with swearing, was my library account. I worked on it  for  about half an hour one night. Today I went to the library and they offered a time for me to work with them.

     I came home and tried it again and up came my library account! I wasn't even swearing!

     Now I wanted to get an ebook so that was my next problem. So I got my book and shut down for supper. I went to get my book after supper and couldn't find it and suddenly thought email. And there was my book on email. 

     So I learned quite a few things today that I have been puzzling my puzzler on.

  3. Hello,
    I do not like using a laptop, I have one I rarely used.
    I use my library to get ebooks a lot.
    Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

  4. Adapting to something new can cause the air to turn blue. I'm glad you're finding your way through.

    1. The younger generation knows a lot of this stuff automatically. They read the screen so that they see the whole thing.

    1. We have to get some back up pills as the younger generations seem to know this stuff automatically.

  7. Good for you, Red! New to me technology can be so frustrating and I admire how you don't give up and, with some help, you figure it out! Well done!

    Tech has its own mysterious ways!

  10. I give up before I start. I don't own a laptop, just a PC. I like paper books. But I can still swear at other things. Linda in Kansas

    1. This is my first lap top. I think I'll get used to it. The toughest part here is windows 11.

  11. Honestly, I am shocked Red! As a former member of the noble teaching profession you should definitely NOT be swearing - no matter how frustrated you become with new technology. I think that I am duty bound to report you to The Canadian Teachers' Federation.

  13. I love it when situations that are so frustrating work out for us! Of course, it is no fun to go through that to start out with! Have a super, relaxing weekend with your book.
