In The Pink

Ok, at first I thought it was new and logical, but the Microsoft Office that comes with it is a pain in the butt. So actually I guess I don't hate Windows 7, I hate Microsoft Office version whatever! I have spent some years now learning how to use Excel, Word, Powerpoint and Access to some proficiency. Now however, although I know how to use everything I can't find it! New menus, new titles and new symbols are making my working life hell as it takes me twice as long to do everything. And don't get me stared on CAD 2011! Ok, I am done!

I remembered last week while without my PC just how much I value it, although I also realised while BT were fixing our land line that it would be more accurate to say how much I missed the Internet. While our phone line was down for repairs I did not use my PC as everything I wanted to do was on line. I do however have to keep reminding myself, while sorting our new email hosts and figuring out new software, to relax my brow and not frown! I frown terribly when I am concentrating and I seem to have been concentrating a lot lately! I am currently trying out Windows Live Mail which I have to say was amazingly easy to set up but I have not figured the syncing of email out yet and my previous emails from my web mail seem to be coming over intermittently and randomly! It's all a work in progress! Also I have not had any new emails and I would have expected to receive some by now. Ah well, in the grand scheme of things not so much to worry about! And I do have a wonderful...

I am going to be without my PC for a few days, a thought I do not relish! However, a necessary step to prevent further damage I think. I have been getting dynamic link initialisation error messages for a while now and other errors have begun to surface. Having discussed it with our local PC chap, who fixed my machine last year, I am going to take it in for him to have a look and advise me with regard to the course of action we take. It is also a good opportunity to back up. I have an external hard drive with my photos saved on but the hard drive is now full and there is lots more stuff on the PC to back up. Anyway, hopefully it will only be for a few short days! Until then happy blogging all and see you soon!
