Okay, I admit it. I’m getting too old, and there are some things I just have more trouble with than I used to. Like computers.
When I started using computers we used a really big stack of cards and after we had punched a bunch of holes in them, we loaded them into a machine about the size of Oklahoma and it spit out some kind of a report. But, I moved on to using mainframe connections from remote office locations. That was better.
The next step was to use a desktop that understood DOS commands. If you programed DOS to jump, that’s all it did. Quite unlike Windows. Alas, I mastered a few versions of Windows and learned to use a variety of software to get my jobs done. Then came Windows 8. Need I say anything else.
I used Windows 10 for a few days, but went back to 7, because 10 would not run some of the software I still use every day.
Having said all that, I find myself forgetting faster than I learn. Problems that arise daily are more of a challenge. Right now I’m working on a Windows 8 machine that is driving me crazy - crazier.
I wonder. Do they still sell Big Chief Tablets and #2 pencils?
