The teacher even helped me after school and all, still no go. I also took piano lessons for a good long while. My teacher said she has taught kids that are "mentally challenged" that did better with the fingers. I just can't get my fingers to work for me. I'm getting a bit better now that I have my own rig though. This is my first computer of my own.
It's funny though, I can fix about anything. I'm good with mechanical stuff. Guy thing I guess. < shrugs > I can rebuild a car motor with no problems. Since I'm disabled, having a computer helps a lot. I don't get out to much. I go to town about once or twice a week to get groceries, usually late at night, and that is about it. I can go all month on a tank of gas sometimes. Going to see my girlfriend, about 300 miles away, was the longest trip I have taken in many years. I'm hoping to go back this weekend. I miss all 100 lbs of her. I talked to her a bit ago. < grins real big > Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
