Lucky you! You have your own in-house tech support.

I’d be a raving maniac (worse than I am) if I had to deal with Windows. I have a Mac & it’s so simple, even I can usually work it. My first 2 laptops were Compaqs & I threatened to frisbee them constantly.

I am in awe of anyone who knows how these things work. I cannot imagine running a forum or trying to moderate all these different personalities. It would probably drive me to drink.

(knock on wood) FR has gone a long time (for me, at least) without any problems. Except for those character things (which I’ve mostly learned to get around), I’d say things are going pretty good. I’m not that easy to please, so that’s saying something. I have no complaints.

I started out on a Commodore 64 and dial up. Love the Zip line.

Yes, have learned to get around the weird charters myself, and I am probably as fussy as you are. I have little patients for things that don’t work right. Hubby still hasn’t gotten around to moving all my stuff off the main computer to the laptop. For the sake of my back had to move to the couch and a heating pad if I’m going to sit long.

Takes me awhile to learn new programs, mostly trial and error as those manuals don’t make a lick of sense to me. And I’ve read college level since leaving HS.

I’ve yet to figure out the TV remote the way he has it configured. I’m not the TV watcher, book worm. His daughter got me one of those 1 remote does all for Christmas, I am learning the basics on it. If not for RFDTV and a few other channels I could get by with just local TV. Hubby is the sports and car nut.
