Computer-itis

Today is the birthday of my new computer. Seems the old one was ready for early retirement. It was only four years old but I guess that is the old age for technology. I enjoy being on the computer looking and searching for things old and new. But, I am not a geek and the anxiety of learning a new system and resaving all my favorite places has caused major stress. You know the commercial where the 7 year old girl makes this fantastic panoramic photo and prints it? I don't like her very much. I have trouble turning on the DVD player. But, I WILL learn how to do that. Remember when you thought you were so smart because you knew how to do something your parents didn't, well duh! I even splurged and bought a program for my photos, which is my favorite thing in the world, but alas, I can't even figure out how to bring in all the photos I saved onto memory sticks to prevent loosing them. My greatest fear was loosing all the digital photos I had saved and stored on the old unit. Some of them were unreplaceable. Family, lost family members, fun times and shared memories with friends. Oh well, the challenges of life. This too I will overcome and by this time next month, I will hopefully be more comfortable with my new computer.
