Living with PN, do you find yourself retreating from life?

@ray666 And likewise, my friend! Actually I had to have a tech from my local computer store come out last week to correct a couple of hardware issues that resulted from that upgrade: my laptop and printer were not communicating, and my external backup reported that it was not able to download encrypted information. Soooo, those are working perfectly again without having to be replaced, but I am slogging through the way the new software works. Used to be able to back out of things I had clicked on but now it's not that straightforward. You don't know the irony of this whole mess: my husband owned two computer stores in two states. He did it all, but it was what he knew: Microsoft. As an engineer who also taught CAD (Computer Aided Drafting), Windows was and still is, the gold standard for engineers.
Thank you for commiserating, Ray. May you and your Mac become buddies once again! Barb

Howdy, Barb. You've got quite the story there! All that involvement and familiarity with computers and you still have those "Grrrr!" moments. 🙂 My Mac and me? We're friends, no danger of us becoming un-friends. We've been together for so many years (how many? I've no idea) that our relationship is one of total understanding. I use a browser blocker so I'll not be pestered by the internet unless I want to be pestered, and then only for 15 or 20 minutes at a shot. My Mac, for me, is little more than an electronic typewriter. My Mac knows that and is perfectly happy to play that role. 🙂 On we go! I hope you're having a wonderful, computer hassle-free afternoon, Barb. Cheers! –Ray
