I’m a Bit Muddled

If I don’t make much sense these next few days, forgive me.  My old computer died, forcing me to get a new one.  That meant having to leave my trusted, understandable Vista to go to Windows 8.1, which, at this point, makes little sense to me.  Oh, yes, there are instructions–on line, not in the packing box.  It took me a whole day just to figure out how to set up the computer enough to actually go online!  Now I find that some of my programs and files don’t like 8.1 and are rebelling.  My passwords hate me and are hiding.  And last night it took me almost an hour to figure out how to turn the &^%$*! thing off!

So, I’ll be spending the next week re-installing the programs I need and figuring out how to reconfigure my Comcast email, since 8.1 doesn’t allow POP settings.

Thanks for giving me a shoulder to cry on.  I’ll come up with some entertaining post soon, both for you and for me to stop taking life–and computers–so seriously.
