Where was I ??
Where was I??
Before I got so RUDELY interrupted!!
I swear – (but I won’t - even though I REALLY want to ;)) -
And maybe it's just me - but -
I have a HUGE love/hate relationship with computers –
I LOVE them when they work –
I HATE them when they don’t –
I HATE messing with them – unless I WANT to –
As you probably know already (if you read Thursday’s post) –
Monday the keyboard on my laptop stopped working!!
WHAT A PAIN!!
First it was my mouse - then my printer - then my laptop!!
Normally - a broken keyboard is no biggy - just get another one. But we all know that a laptop is virtually useless without the keyboard - the mouse can only do so much. You certainly can't TYPE with it! And it didn't help when the phone tech support guy told us to hit a certain KEY to get to some screen - HOW do you DO that if the KEYboard doesn't work?? DUH!!
My Other Half and I spent ALL WEEK trying to get my new laptop to the same place - same settings - as the old one. It is SUCH A PAIN!! Like everyone else - most of my settings just evolved over time - new programs - new updates – new settings - etc. We spent Monday trying to figure out if my laptop was worth fixing – deciding that it wasn’t – and then trying to find an affordable replacement. We spent Tuesday trying to get Windows configured right – Wednesday reloading programs - and Thursday trying to get EQ7 to find my projects.
I repeat - WHAT A PAIN!!
The only reason I had posts on Monday, Tuesday and Friday was that they had been "scheduled" on Sunday. Wednesday night I was able to write one for Thursday morning – but without any photos. I wasn't “there” yet.
I really don’t have the patience for this stuff anymore.
I just want to sit down -
check everyone's blog to see what they are doing –
write something for my own blog –
sew for a while -
take a picture or two or twenty ;)) -
and then take my nap.
Computer stuff just frustrates the crap out of me.
It’s like information overload and my brain is full or something. ;))
Even just talking about it – makes my head hurt –
SO -
Where was I??
Oh, yeah – the sashing –
Talk to you later - gotta go – gotta SEW –
I understand completely. Mine has just refused to print. I think it has come out in empathy with yours.
ReplyDeleteI have been incredibly lucky when it comes to computer! (knock on wood) My desktop is probably 10 years old (or better) and I got a virus in it at about 2 or 3 years into it - I personally crashed it and started over. I've since bought an external drive and put all the files and my embroidery designs on the external drive as I figure the time's coming....I replaced my first lap top simply because the power cord was getting lose and sometimes it would work okay, sometimes not..... Anyway, I hope you get all your files and 'stuff' transfered and once again have a happy relationship with your computer.
