Today Adam finally got the unwanted ‘new’ computer connected to the internet so I can get back to doing some printing at home and catch up a bit on my blog.   Overall I see little reason to date, as to why it was necessary as I had months ago told him about the ‘fix’ that allowed you to update XP until 2019, but he chose to ignore that insisting I needed win 7.

I honestly don’t think I need or even want win 7, but I am now stuck with it for the life of this machine, ZEN.   For someone who has a growing mistrust of all microsoft products and upgrades it has been a wrench changing from Hal on XP.   I now have to get familiar with all the changes in control, for example, because I had no printer icon visible I ended up printing 5 pages I didn’t want this afternoon. Hal would have questioned me rigorously over the need to even print one copy.

On the rant of microsoft, I received my hospital questionnaire from Jayne Jelf    in a strange docx format that only have opened in the compatible msoft programe   recommended by win 7 so I had to find a pdf converter on forefox before I could print it off.  Now you would imagine with an alliterate name like ‘Jayne Jelf’ she must be some sort of superhero http://www.tenthplanetevents.co.uk/ekmps/shops/happyhenhomes/resources/Design/bella-emberg.jpg  Blunderwoman seems a good fit.

While I’m on a rant; two stall of Indian descent blokes flogging dodgy ceramic poppy badges and no sign of any remorse of robing the British Legion of funds.   I was quite happy to see both had a table full they had been unable to sell as most people were at the cenotaph service.
