You know what I hate but I
really really hate how I can, without thinking, make a few strokes on
my computer and totally messed my system up to the point for a cannot
use it any longer until I can get some kind of intervention somebody
who knows what they're doing. Today for example, I was working on my
system actually yesterday Mark Anthony came over and put the new
cartridges in my printer. This morning I was being very productive
and wrote a letter to my nephew. I printed the document and it was
just fine. Letter came out perfect. I don't remember what I was
trying to do, I think as trying to find where I had to file for my
nephew's address. Of course the computer screen I use is quite a ways
from my workstation and I cannot really see that well some of the
small print. I have learned however that I can greatly increase the
image by hitting alt + and the system increases the size and I'm able
to read and make my selection. Will I did that today and I don't know
what I did besides but I somehow increase the image so much that now
I cannot reduce the size of the screen. That means not only can I not
read the files that I want to print I cannot get the corner of the
screen to turn my computer screen on enough for my computer on and
off.
Of course Mark Anthony is
my go to guy for technical support anything to do with computer type
technology. However, I must respect the idea that he also is working
and I have to squeeze myself and in some timeslots when they become
available. Sometimes however, Mark can break free and address my
need. I was hoping that Mark would be able to take control of my
system remotely and see what the problem was. I know it's relatively
simple I just cannot find the solution I think anybody who knows
anything about computers will be able to figure it out. Now having
said that, I must confess I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech
support from P C Computers. One of the big come ons of this
organization is that if you buy your computer from these guys they
standby ready to help at any time. Well today that did not
necessarily happen. After waiting for about a half an hour on”Hold”
then I get a hold of a tech who really doesn't seem too excited about
helping me. Well I played the disability card and use a little more
responsive but he couldn't fix the problem. He basically did
everything that I had done which did not leave me very hopeful. I
know it's got a be an easy solution it's just eluding me. Mark
Anthony said he did back with me and I said that's cool I'll be here.
The day worked its way to
the end and after I watch the evening news I decide to give Mark
Anthony a call for sometimes I know he works this late. I thought
maybe I could snag him and if nothing else he could remote into my
system and work the bugs out there. Interestingly, Mark Anthony did
install some software that allows this to be done. I think you forgot
about me but he also had a fairly important meeting with his wife so
I told him not to worry try to alleviate any pressure. The only thing
I was really concerned about was updating the blog. I could've done
up with my Samsung handheld are even my Samsung tablet but I just
assume work off Dragon on my computer. And again I am fortunate in
that I have the laptop that I nearly destroyed last year. The system
works great screen it's a little bit problematic but it works good
enough for blogging.
I kind of wanted to print
the envelope for my letterbut it looks like if I'm going to use
tomorrow's mail a better handwrite the address stamp and get it out
the door. Kind of really like using this laptop even though it's a
little slow works for me…okay
