My old lappie was about 6 -- and ran on Vista -- meaning that I've not only had to contend with swapping all my stuff over from Old Faithful to New Unknown, I've also had to battle a new OS -- the dreaded Windows 8.
Add in that we bought a new printer, too -- one that prints WIRELESSLY -- and you'll see that I have had my head turned inside out with all the New Learnings and Figuring Outs.
For a while, each new task meant that I had to work out a bunch of other things as well, and it took me so long just to do each small thing (like, to add desktop shortcuts to my favourite websites took about 2 hours. Not. Even. Kidding.)
However, I'm on the downhill slope now YAY
and I'm not completely driven mad.
Yay for a new laptop and printer!!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually annoyed that each new computer comes pre-programmed with the latest version of windows. My first computer had windows98 and I was very happy with it, my first laptop had windows XP and I really loved that. This laptop came with windows7, it took a bit of getting used to, but not much. I've heard that windows8 is really hard to navigate, I heard that about vista too. Was it terribly hard or just very different?
I used to be a total luddite, but these days I'm mad for all things technology. A car I've borrowed and picked up yesterday has fully integrated Bluetooth and rather than the big wank I thought it was, it's a revelation. Bring on wireless technology!!! x
