Let's Get Real...

Here is more from the continuing story of, I wish I knew how to make the computer do what I want it to do and less of a hit and miss way of using it. One of my big boys, who will remain nameless but we all know which one, (consider birth order) told me I should get a book that was several years old but kind of explained the basics of computer use. His thought was if I started back at the beginning, when maybe computers were a little less complicated (when would that have been?) maybe I could get a grasp. In other words, "Mom I have explained the file, folder, application thing a 100 times what don't you understand??" I'm thinking this isn't the right time to ask about pixels...
As any obedient mother would do, I marched right down to Border's to find that perfect book. After an hour in the magazine aisle looking at what I like and when I was certain no one was watching, I found the aisle with how to computer books. Well, I am here to tell you, there are aplenty!!! I had some trouble deciding which would be the less sleep inducing, here is the one I finally chose.

To some it might look like this

but everytime I see it, I see this...

How excited I am to work my way through this maze! Thankfully "multiple choice tests will show you how good your knowledge of Internet and e-mail is. If you pass the test, you will receive your free computer certificate by e-mail." Words cannot describe how thrilled I would be with an email certificate that would hang in my office claiming me as email certified...
Now you know what I have to look forward to...Life is just too exciting sometimes.
I showed the big boy my new book, he said he'd be out this weekend to get me straightened out.
