Hey Veronica. I second that about not giving up. We forget how much trouble it was to learn Windows and any other technology we aound ourselves learning. I have had to learn so many new ones that I'm beginning to lose count. I have found that I have finally gotten to the place where I can say, "Here I go again." I didn't get started learning things every that I turned around, technology wise anyway, until I got into my thirties. That's when I got my first computer, an Apple 2E. Back then, ew didn't have the resources we have now. If you didn't figure it out yourself or manage to bother someone enough to help you figure it out, it didn't happen, at least that was what happened to me. You couldn't get on a list like this and ask your fellow blind.
So, take heart. It will get better once you hang in there. Eugenia Firth [email protected] On May 3, 2012, at 12:51 AM, Pam Mathers wrote: > Hey don't give up. I know how you feel.
