I’m back on-line!<\/p>\n
I’m in the process of setting up my new Dell (named Dylan, a unisex handle). When\u00a0I finish that, I have to set up Daisy, my new netbook. I’ve never even had a laptop before, so I’m excited. Daisy is purple. She’s a Garbera daisy. \ud83d\ude42 (Not sure of the spelling there).<\/p>\n
I like Windows 7, but I need to familiarize myself with it\u2014badly. Today I mainly installed my virus software, then figured out how to update the license so Daisy can use the same software. Then I got a handle on my overflowing in-box. My local geeks (I’m not insulting them\u2014their business name has Geeks in it) initially told me I wouldn’t\u00a0be able to run Eudora on Windows 7, but when I went to pick up the computer, lo and behold, Eudora was installed. I don’t know if this is because Eudora CAN run on Windows 7, or because I purchased the Professional edition, which allows programs that aren’t compatible with Windows 7 to run on a Virtual XP thingie.<\/p>\n
The first thing I need to do tomorrow is change the screen resolution. It’s too tiny for eyes “of my age.” And then begins the slow, laborious process of installing programs. I figure, between two new computers, I should be all caught up by the weekend.<\/p>\n
Okay, I just hit some weird button on this crappy entry-level keyboard that is changing all my apostrophes into \u00e8. I don\u00e8t know how this happens, but I made the same thing happen on the full size keyboard My Liege has hooked up to his old laptop. It\u00e8s irritating. I have to restart the computer to get it to stop happening.<\/p>\n
I\u00e8m not used to a regular keyboard. I use an ergonomic keyboard. However, lo and behold, when I went to hook up my old ergonomic keyboard, I realized Dylan only accepts keyboards with USB connections. The nerve! My old keyboard had a circular connection. With Dylan requiring a USB connection for the keyboard, I realized that 4 USB slots in the back would not be enough for my purposes. I need 5: scanner, printer, modem, keyboard, mouse. The nerve! So, seeing as I needed a new keyboard anyway (I was told I could buy a thingie to convert my circular connection to USB, but half the letters are worn off the old KB anyway), I had to decide between buying a new, wired ergo keyboard along with a USB pod so I would have more USB connection slots OR buying a new wireless ergo keyboard with wireless mouse that only requires 1 USB\u00a0 port between them. I opted for the latter option. I\u00e8d better set it up first tomorrow, because I never accidentally make my apostrophes turn into \u00e8 on ergo keyboards.<\/p>\n
