Musings on anything. |
| I put the cart before the horse and bought a new computer, Windows 11. My old one is a 10 and won't work with the Internet after Tuesday. However, I don't even have Internet. That is scheduled for Tuesday, now that I finally decided which company to use. There are many in my area, but not in my neighborhood. I had three to choose from, including the one that cut me off accidentally through an office error. they were supposed to upgrade and give me a new modem; the old one is so out of date, they don't even want it back. I was cutting my land line off from them, so after three phone calls confirming the upgrade, they cut off everything. It was lousy service, so I let it go. I didn't know I would take so long deciding what to do. I was also waiting for a refund check from them, which finally arrived today, two months after receiving a letter saying it was on the way. Meanwhile, I have been going to the library at least 3 times a week to use the computers; Not a joyful experience. Yesterday, the Wi-Fi was down, so it was a wasted trip. I thought I would go Monday, but al branches will be closed for all-staff training. But I'm pretty sure I will be stationed at my computer desk Tuesday night and will be for a day or two to do all the things I've put off. I've been up and down on my feelings about being computer free. I've gotten more housework and yard work done. When I am at home, I am at liberty to just enjoy myself or do other projects. I might have to place some time limits or other discipline on myself once I am online again. y cell phone will work better with Wi-Fi in the house. I was composing a short novel on my laptop, Windows Vista, no less. Then that old thing died. I have lost at least half a soap opera style novel. So, I may start trying to compose it all over on a desktop and store it in the cloud. I am not a technology pro or junkie, but I definitely am addicted to it. |
