birdie QUEEN of the Island of MISFIT TOYS's blog: "crush"

anyone that knows me, will tell you, i am" so totally uncool" when it comes to getting with the times. well guess what???[trumpet plays] i'm actually attempting to take steps to get there. as of 11-26-2008. i will be moved up from dial-up. i finally got tired of waiting forever to load a page, or attempting to download a photo. [after waiting 15 minutes, having an error has occured, pop up and having to attempt again.]. the biggest problem i will more then likely have is,supposedly it's easy to install myself. they don't know that when it comes to computers, i'm not the smartest. i hope the instructions have plenty of diagrams, and says plug this blue one into the blue hole. so if you don't see me on here for awhile, it's because i haven't figured out how to get it hooked up yet. up until 4 years ago, i had never seen a mouse [other then what gets in the house , chews on things and leaves poo.] i'd heard people talk about their computer mouse, but none of my friends had computers, so it never dawned on me what exactly it was. i had used the computer at work for retail business, but it didn't have one. then they upgraded. i had to take a hazmet test. sat down... tried typing... wouldn't work... personal saw me confused...told me to use the mouse...i gave her my doe in headlights look...she showed me what it was...cool you roll it...of course she didn't tell me you have to click...so i rolled the arrow around on screen trying to figure out how to get it to work for a few minutes...accidently clicked it...oh isn't that something... i finally got a computer a couple years ago. a friend bought me one. so not really having any training, i've been playing around on here. recently i had a problem with my computer, one of my online friends had me call them on the phone, to help me fix it. he soon found out i had no clue what anything on here was called. he was really patient with me though when he found out that telling me to push this or go into that meant nothing to me. now i'm making myself sound like an idiot, but i'm really not, just as i stated in the beginning i'm not with the times. still don't know what some of the lingo you all use to stand for something...do know what lol is,but.. just think, maybe i can update my photos and site now. before it was such a chore. my next thing is having to find a camera that is vista friendly. had to get a new computer. it came with vista. the one i have doesn't work with it. was going to attempt to put up some more pics on my site. and it says it doesn't work with vista. they don't have a patch for the model to make it work. so if anyone has vista and has a camera that takes decent pics let me know the model.
