I knew NOTHING about windows, word, excel, etc...NOTHING! We had computers for our payroll, but it was just for payroll input. No windows, email or anything. I asked my boss what the heck I was supposed to do with that. She said just play with it and I'll get you in a class asap. So, I played. I taught myself by trial and error. By the time the class rolled around, all they taught us was email and Word...both of which I had already mastered. So...I kept playing and I never stopped. I admire that you worked on your computer. I bought my first home computer after Windows was already out. I know nothing about DOS. But, I can do just about anything on my computer now. <br /><br />I love this blog.

I do the cable, I do anything even sort of tech related. (Including the microwave).<br />About that phone number...well, I'm not THAT good, if I was, I'd be a lot busier than I am. I just mess with my own or help a friend here or there to clean up their machines. I am good at the file cleaning and background stuff removal. I do pretty well with slow runners and hesitation problems. Otherwise, I have to do a lot of investigation and on the phone, I'm useless. I have to DO not TELL. Very poor training, I'm guessing. lol<br />♥<br /><br />Thanks for the kinds words. ♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-1796253370915920332012-03-02T20:30:35.356-05:002012-03-02T20:30:35.356-05:00That's so nice to hear!

If everything goes smoothly I can use Word and email and the Internet and Facebook. If not, I call my husband (who does it for a living). I wish I knew more, but unfortunately I don't care enough to spend a lot of time learning about it when there are too many other things I'd rather do. I admire you for being able to do this--and what's your phone number?
