I did it and now what
 
Yesterday I finally broke down and did some major shopping for ME. I got a new touch screen computer and a new phone. There is a definite learning curve with the touch screen, and I have to get tech support to help me load on the printer and figure out how to add new emails. I am going to change my email addy to see if I can get rid of some of the spam.

Anyway, i may be slow getting on here till i get it sorted out.

My spam is mostly get a college degree. I already have one and worked 37 plus years and am now retired. Hugs

Good luck! I am still learning! My husband has to have all the latest tech 'stuff'. I have an Iphone and I really like it for some things, but would go back to my old razor phone in a minute! Just too old fashioned, I guess.

Ha! I'm still learning how to do the fast check out at the grocery store at Wal-Mart. I've got the Kroger one down pat. There is one Wal-Mart fast check out register that I try to avoid because I always need assistance with the crazy thing.
The other ones at this Wal-Mart haven't been a problem. Well, yesterday a really nice assistant explained what the problem was. We discussed the difference between Wal-Mart's and Kroger's. Even though she was about 30 years younger than me, she agreed when I said life was getting to complicated. So folks, no Ipad or Iphone for me.

If I'm not on the site checking posts, then I'm having to learn different technology everyday for real estate. There's always something. I've had my phone for I think 2 years, we just renewed the contract. DH handles that part but I still need all this for my career. I was told to change my addy along time ago. I did and what a mess. I opened up what looked very much like an e-mail from a client but it was a virus. So I had to change my addy again. I went back to my e-mail address as it is today.

My son thinks I'm old fashion because I still go to the library. He wants to get me one of those E-book things. I really do not want one. I enjoy visiting the library. My next high-tech is a new laptop. And that's so I can sit outside on nice days or if I want to laze in bed on rainy mornings. I gave mine to my oldest GD and I kinda miss it--

I recently cancelled an email address and set up a new one. I was a little worried that I'd miss something – I tried to go update every site I could think of where I'd used that address – but I have to say, it's wonderful getting so much less junk!
