I think I know why I find this whole blog/link computing/IT thing difficult to use smoothly, efficiently, and with confidence. In fact there are a couple of reasons. Many many years ago I worked as a 'punchcard operator' for a short time, in the computer department of a large organisation.....I know, I seem to have slipped into serbo-croat or something there for a minute, don't I? punchcard operation? que? anyhoo....the computer used at this place was in fact an enormous room full of large large whirring and slightly trembling boxes and spools that was forbidden to us and was manned (quite literally...the men did the taking care of the computer and us ladies did the keypunch operation) by bearded types, who looked like they wore sensible clothes all the time and had perhaps never dated...clever lads but yet to strike out into the world of being social.... so to get back to the point of this rambling ..... computers, to me, were forbidden, scary and even though I am a taught by nuns grammar school girl, I knew my place...well away from the big important machines. Fast forward (oh, if only, in life, to be able to fast back...) and now I am a proper grown up lady, mortgage and stretch marks and everything, and I am also, ever so slightly, OCD.....If I open something to use it then, once used, I have to close it...I am neat, tidy, and yes peculiar to some I guess....I can't bear to have lots of tabs/windows open at once on t'computer.....It's messy and makes me sort of (my daughter would say 'knickertwisted') uncomfortable.......SO....do what I have to do and then move on...if I have to flick between things and copy and paste (yes, I am that pathetic at the moment) I need to FOCUS and take my time........given up reading yet?.....but at last I think I have it....so this is a test, and I hope she does'nt mind http://auntiegwensdiary.blogspot.com/
