[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 9195300, member: 152"]I started out with things like cobol, fortran, rbase 5000, etc. Kept up with things through Lotus 123, microsoft word and excel (and probably some I've forgotten) to google docs and sheets. I know things my kids don't, like moving things around in folders, keyboard shortcuts, etc. I feel like I've kept up better than others that are my age with the new technology. But damn, I can't make heads or tails of anything on this computer. We've had it a week, and it's already telling me we're out of storage and need to buy more. A new way of parting someone from their money, I suppose. And when I try to use any photo editing software, it either won't recognize google drive photos or it wants me to pay for their services. Sorry for the rant folks. I don't want to tell him how much I dislike it as he needs a good boost in confidence in his decisions right now, but doggone I want my old computer back. :( I'll figure it out one way or another though.[/QUOTE]
