Whoa, that is WAY back, isn’t it? I remember the first Mac I ever saw (1986) was this tiny little box & the screen had a black background, IIRC- I was thinking Well, that would put my eyes out.
My first computer experience was inputting insurance estimates in 1986. I got my first computer in Dec 2000 (Compaq laptop). I have loads of patience. It’s just that Windows is so passive-aggressive & I have zero tolerance for that.
I hear you about the heating pad! Some women can’t live without their moisturizer- I can’t live without my heating pad.
LOL No joke. God Bless Canon. (Apple is pretty good, too)
They have the best tech support in the world. I love to read & will read almost anything if I get desperate enough. But not that. I go wall-eyed & my ears start to smoke. I’m kinda up a creek because I always expect DH to know the answers to these things & he’s about as bad as I am.
I can’t watch tv unless I’m doing something- sewing or macrame or ceramics or whatever. I guess that’s listening, not watching. I mean to watch some of the old shows, but I always forget/ get busy doing something else.
Aarrgghh, Yeah. I dunno why remotes are so tarted up. On/ off, pause/ play, backward/ forward, volume/ channel- but no. They have to put all this other fruit salad on there so you can hit the buttons by mistake & then all hell breaks loose (or at least it does for me).
LOL I hate my Kindle. It does this too.
:-/ I guess I’m a luddite. Oh well.
I don’t control the remote, to complicated for me as it is set up to run more than one apparatus. And I’m not much of a TV watcher a couple of hrs in the evening is my limit unless it’s a movie. I lost the TV habit back in the 70’s and don’t have a phone habit, was never allowed to develop it as a teen.
My hands used to by busy with quilting, crocheting, knitting as well as being a book worm like historical romance novels, time travel and books on treating homeopathic healing. But Arthritis and a torn rotator cuff put a stop to the busy hands. 1 doesn’t go away, the other to small to repair, after watching my husband go through a shoulder ball replacement where they went through the muscles of the rotator doing his rehab now at 7 months and still in pain, glad it was to small. I have to read at computer distance with a pillow to prop up a book.
Lord, I don’t even remember when the Commodore 64 came out, just that my husband could write code for the stupid thing. I wrote letters on it.
This is my first laptop. I’ve yet to figure out all the features of my Samsung Note 3 phone. LOL
I can’t live with out my 2 heating pads. I found a good one on Amazon, plush covered, with the option of 2 hrs or on all the time and 6 temp settings $35 well spent dollars. In fact I’ve bought 5 of them. Hubby uses one on his shoulders, I use mine on the Lumbar, gave my boys each one for Christmas, 1 has a bad back, the other a bad knee.
I use coconut oil for moisturizer. Cheaper than all those high $$ creams that don’t work. 2 of my daily meds do a number on my skin.
