Trying
to get things as I know it.. on
the
new computer… so I know my way
around…
has been an education to say
the
least… And sometimes I think this
old
brain goes with the adage of …
Can’t
teach old brains new tricks..
One
of the things I had to take care of,
was
putting in the virus protection of
my choice.. as the computer comes
with
a temporary virus protection of
their
choice.. one which I didn’t do well
with,
years ago.. so went with another one.
I
went with the free one for many years
and
then in 2012, I spent the money to do
the
better one.. and less ads. Because as
we know,
nothing is really for free.
Now
I had to download my virus which is
paid
up to 2017. As I was trying to download
my
paid one, it was getting complicated…so
asked
for their support team.. which they did
a
great job… but one of the parts was… letting
them
control my computer, to get the right setting
that
wasn’t working for me. That took a leap
of
faith….
A big leap of faith… as I could tell by
the
name of my support help, that his name was
not
from around here. As it turn out to
be.. he was
from
India
the
company I am familiar with and has been
helpful
in the past… so I flew by the seat of
my
pants and click ok.. and it worked out
perfect. Even had a nice conversation while
we
were waiting for some of the download.
By
the way they can retire.. depending on the
company
at the age of 58.
One
thing I have found out from the new computer is,
NOTHING…COMES
WITH IT.. well, nothing I use.
Office..
over $100 and that is for only ONE YEAR!!
I
got that for free when I first started computers.
Windows
photo gallery… gone.. and while the computer
recognizes
my printer for printing.. it doesn’t for importing
pictures…
So download (luckily for free from
Microsoft)
photo
gallery which has all the things I know.
Yes,
a learning curve… so far I am staying up with it.
