¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy husband tells me I am not normal. He says "you do realise not everyone just loads software and just gets on with it¡±¡. and I reply when in doubt look at the manual :-)But in the next breath he will criticise me for the research I do before I actually buy anything.? I do point out my skills at just grasping things has earned us a lot of money. Years back I started a ten week course on Pagemaker. First night I got home 10pm at night and he opened the door before I could get to the handle¡. handed me some A4s and said " I¡¯ve made you a pot of tea see what you can do with this¡±. I said something like ¡°Fair go. I¡¯ve only just learned how to cut ?up text.¡± But I did it.? That first layout in Pagemaker got him a $30,000 job. I was told the person who received the proposal asked how it was done and he replied ¡° On a Mac¡±¡..not exactly a lie. ?Next layout I did got a $170,000 contract for him and a colleague paid out in $10,000 increments. Sort of rather set us up really at the time¡. and all done on a second hand Mac Jude On 8 Jun 2021, at 11:31 pm, Purler <susan.platter@...> wrote: You remind me of the way Harvey talks to be about computer stuff - remember that exchange in The Hitchhiker¡¯s Guide to the Galaxy: Arthur Dent: ¡°I wish I¡¯d listened to the things my mother used to tell me.¡± ?Ford Prefect: ¡°What did she tell you?¡± ?Arthur: ¡°I don¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t listen!¡±

I do say you¡¯ll ruin that thing and you¡¯ll be sorry (doesn¡¯t quite have the reverence I do) ?¡ and I can see he¡¯ll be looking to use my Mac while it¡¯s gone :-)? If it¡¯s a bigger problem then yes would have to do replacement. ?Just spent $10,000 on his new blue tooth capable rechargeable hearing aids ¡ which sort of need a smart phone to go with them that he doesn¡¯t have and has resisted up to now. That price makes Mac spending look skimpy :-) Jude? On 7 Jun 2021, at 1:34 am, zuiko <ftog@...> wrote:
