I did some cleaning-up in the west room today and got rid of the old
keyboard and monitor from our '07 HP PC. I have a lot to learn on the
new HP Notebook and HP Desk Jet Printer that Jon set up for us when they
were here last week. I have learned
to do some of the basic operations on the new machine but still rely on
my old Mac Laptop for much of what I do. (Including writing this blog
sheet, etc.) I have kept our old '12 HP printer which works fine for
printing, copying and scanning but was unable to get hooked-up to the
new Notebook. It is handy for Elaine to use to make copies for which
she often has need. I don't have a remote printer connection but am able to use the old one for printing from my Mac with a USB connection. Among the things I have learned
on the new "set-up" is how to scan pictures, process, store, and
put them on a DVD, if desired. We have moved literally thousands of
prints up here and one of my objectives is to fix up a "package" of
pictures for each of the kids. I felt that putting them on DVDs was
appropriate, but Jon talked about "Flash Drives" being more practical. I
have used Flash Drives to store all of my blogs pages for the past
several years.
This is the way the new "set-up" looks. I still like to use the mouse and key board at a lower, more comfortable level on the computer desk. The new Notebook has small left and right pads in addition to the regular pad but I haven't used them. I'm really just using it as a computer and monitor. We have a very active "Team Mates"chapter here in the Public School, and I wonder if it could be reversed and some computer savy student might come over and "Mentor" me on Windows 10.
