Look at moi...Look at moi....LOOK at moi....
After nearly two years of trying to put photos on my profile page, one brutally assaulted puter [currently pushing up daisys] and having given the neighbours lessons on the finer points of domestic violence......Ive done it.......with a little help.
9 yr old from down the street popped in to purloin the usual lemonade icey-pole, saw me cussing at the puter, asked what I was trying to do and a quick flick of the mouse....presto !!!
He's going to help me with photos in the gallery but its "gonna cost me 2 icey-poles and a coke".......bloody little Shylock...lol.
Ok..Ok...Its probably no big deal to most, but, to me Ive just conquered Mt Everest.
Cheers......Lionel & Shylock.

Yeh Willem
I reckon some puters have a mind of there own, I had our computer
looked at some time back, and just by chance the technician who
was working on it saw our Camera sitting on the office desk, and
asked if we had trouble putting photos on it, I said yes, and he set
it up for Dummies, now I can do it with my eyes closed, just have to
take some interesting photos.

I was lucky to start with computers afore I got too old, in the 1980's. It was one of the most exasperating struggles as I knew nothing about them or how they worked. Got on the internet in 2000 and it got worse from there. Had a mega learning curve about everything internet hardware and software and have finally got a grip of it some 20 years after starting out. Havent learn't how to fix the plurry things though!!!!!!
Cheers

Yeah - right - every body knows that 'puters are easy! :-) :-)
Once you realise that turn one off (with MS stuff of course) you have to push the start button!
Wonder how that goes with cars?

At our place we use the 7 year old puta tek from next door to sort things out, I like the way she says that it is easy then proceeds to move at lightning speed, fixes it and then says, "did ya follow that".
She (puta Tek) told the warden the other day that the puta has windows, warden promptly went out and made curtains for the thing.................... thats not all, I had to fit them.

Hey Lionel - At least the children are good for something. (not much good for anything else - like dishes, picking up their clothes, making their beds, putting the bin out etc etc etc ) doc.

Al, I don't think that being an old fogy has much to do with puters.
I started learning Basic around 1977 on my old Commodore 64.
I wrote my Thesis on a Commodore 128 with no spell check and a page limit of 5000 words...so you had to link pages with code.
I was hardly an old fogy in those days.

Footy,
I was talking to the old fossils above before you entered the thread LOL
1977 eh ! I'd been working on REAL computers (that needed largish rooms ) for six years by then. All done in Assembler back then.

Al, yes the old tape machines.
I can remember Siliac at
Sydney Uni....all valves.
But you have to understand that I didn't make a living from computers, they have only ever been a tool to me.
I have to admit that I am old enough to find mobiles too small and laptops need my eyes adjusted. Have never seen a "blue tooth" and I believe that an ipod married an iphone and they had a baby apple....or something like that.
I opted out of embracing all new technologies about 10 years ago when I realized that technologies were changing faster than a bloke could change his undies.

Sometimes the smallest things can cause you a huge mental block. Been there and done that many times. It's usually just a matter of looking at the problem in a different light.
Anyway, congratulations.
