Updating My Computer

Filed under: computers, learning — Grandma C. @ 3:51 pm

My youngest son gave me a laptop for Mother’s Day, so I have spent the past two days re-installing programs. Every so often, I had to restore the former settings when a new program caused everything to freeze (except me, as I reached a boiling point.)

I also discovered that Norton Ant-Virus can only be removed by going to their website and downloading a removal tool. I guess using Add/Remove Programs on my computer would be too easy. Anyway, after using the tool about 4 times I have finally uninstalled it. Thankfully I am not paying a technician, since it is now dinnertime.

How did we ever spend our days before we had computers? I bet my mother even got fresh air and sunshine working in the garden. The closest I get to a garden these days is looking at the picture on my computer screen.
