Confessions from a not-too-bright computer user!

[Ninny]

Ok everyone, I gotta tell you that for the longest time I have wanted to download some of Ray's audio files and put them on my computer so that I could sync them to my mp3 player. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to do it!! Well this morning I was just messing around with the computer and I was listening to the Nashville conference audios, LO and BEHOLD I clicked on the file button and thought "ok, one more try to get this stuff!" I decided to choose "save page as..." I clicked in the files until I got to my media player I chose a file folder in there and WOW! It worked! heeheehee!

So there! Take that you evil computer fairies!! I figured it out!! I was about to ask advice, but since I'm not very technical and I was afraid that even though this stuff is easy for some of you...well little ole me ain't that computer literate and I would have had to have called you , George (aqr) on the phone and risk sounding as dumb as I AM! WELL, I did it! I know, I know my 11 year old grandson could have shown me how to do it! (But he thinks I'm really smart, too risky!)

Just wanted to share...

Why, thank you, George! Aren't you glad I didn't have to call on you? Aren't you proud of me that I figured it out all by myself?? Oh and I just tried it, I used the sync thing and put it on my mp3 player!! Cool!

Be careful Kathy,

Yes i am proud of you; this though, is when you or any new computer learner become most dangerous.

Oh, yes! My husband didn't know anything about computers about three years ago, now if I try to explain something to him it's like, "Yes, dear I know that! I know how to do that!!" Oh REALLY? Then why did he ask me? I'll tell you why...because he didn't REALLY know, he asked me so that if I said "I don't know" then he'd still feel superior! Brat!
I used to tell him "Man you need to go take a computer class and learn how to use it. Someday you are going to have to know how to use a computer." He so smugly would reply, "Now what would I EVER have to know how to use a computer for?" Well, he was a technical inspector on aircraft maint. and his company put him in charge of keeping warranties updated for helicopter parts and now he also has to be in contact on a daily basis with their main headquarters. Guess where the majority of his work is done? Oh yeah you guessed it! On the computer! He spends 99% of his work day on the computer and the other 10% on the phone on conference calls! Ha! He had to learn how to do all of that! It took him a long time to come into the 21st century!!

So, George if you see me getting dangerous with my little bit of knowledge you slap my hand Ok??
Humbly,
Kathy

Kathy,

musicman can much more explain why it is dangerous with new computer techs.
I am sure you will understand when he break's it down for you.   Over the years
i have met many who said i will never need to use a computer, and within one year
the tune was (george can you).

I ask what happened; they say i don't know it just quit working. Next question exactly
what was the last thing you did when it worked. (well i saw someone do so i did)

george.

[Ninny]

Ha! funny! Yes I was afraid that musicman might offer me advice. I knew if that happened I'd be driven to drinking! Because HE would be sipping as he explained and well there you have it! What a discombobulated mess I'd have! Drunken Tech support is like a blind man driving a car! Don't go there!!
Hee!hee! ain't life fun!
