Can't google ... don't ask me.

Today, I thought I'd write about something that's driving me nuts ... absolutely bonkers. I've had a computer in my house going back to Commodore 64's when I was still living with my Mom. My brother, it's official, is a computer geek. He was interested in them from the beginning and now works in the field. And, he tried, he really tried to teach me how to do basic, common, everyday tasks. In return, I tried to learn ... I really did. But, to no avail. After all these years of owning a computer (and now a lap-top given to me for Christmas), I still can't cut, copy and paste. I cannot copy onto a disc and use it on another computer. I don't even want to talk about my trouble downloading stuff and using it later. If you don't believe me, I offer this blog as proof. As I surf other people's blogs on other sites, I have noticed all types of links, advertisements and counters, as well as, some outrageous graphics. All of it, beyond my capabilities ... believe me ... I've tried. Maybe, it was never meant to be. Afterall, I'm over 40. Maybe, I peaked with VCR's and cell phones. Lord knows, I wouldn't know the first thing to do with an I-Pod and my palm pilot (again, given as a present) is great to play pre-programmed games on. You can't imagine how frustrating it is to know that 6 and 7 year olds are more computer literate than I am. And, before you mention computer classes or "Dowloading for Dummies", at 42 years old I'm not going back to school for something that's not necessary for the continuance of my life. So, as it stands now, if your reading this and enjoying what you read, "matzletov" and thank you. If, however, your wondering why it's so bare, so un-connected to the rest of cyberspace or, just so, graphically boring ... than I'll simply remind you that Shakespeare, Mark Twain and all the greats, never even heard of a computer and, probably, wouldn't have used one, if they did.
