Actions Speak Louder than Words... Are Electronics Really Improving? Just My Personal Experiences...

Dell Desktop 2005TheT (I am trying to type 4 lines below and twice it came here!

--maybe too fast for today's computer?
(here is where I've been trying to type to show that this phrase was jumped and should have following 70 wpm...)



I was reasonably happy with my desktop that I'd had for 7

Only problem was that it was slow, but still had the full powerthat I had come to expect from a desktop. I have been typing all of my professional life and moved from typewriters through mainframe use and on into personal computers--that makes my experience over 40 years! I type an average of 70 wpm ((this word, years) was the one that moved  up aThere  s the first line--I tried to place this right after years on the previous line and twice it jumped here, plus once into the middle of word through on the previous line!

There is no way to know where your word goes, so the typist has to stop and searched...Note that the There of this sentence was thrown into the 3rd line from bottom of previous paragraph...
I bought the laptop for reading rather than for
using it as a computer; i.e., I did not plan on handling email, letters,
and financial matters on my desktop. I was able to take
PDF books and have no problem reading them on the
laptop while sitting, having a cup of tea...LOL
Note that I am using the routine format of
my blog to allow you to see the strange happenings
that I must deal with, as I have converted to later models!
~~~

Please be aware that I'm now typing on a Toshiba laptop...I had earlier tried an Acer desk top that is what they call it... I returned it almost immediately since it had less power than the laptop and also did the same strange things...
What do I mean by strange things? Well,
take a look at the top of this page...
My original typing placed the picture
on the left...I left it like it was
"created" by the computer to
show what happenat least fix it to get it back
fact I just had
the picture disappear and had to s. In
See the errors in this? The machine
made the jumps...I did NOT!
~~~
I just previewed this...as I am typing the acer pic is on the left and the laptop on the right. When I had the full power of the Dell desktop, albeit 7 years old--by the way, the reason I know I had it for 7 years is because Windows sent me a computer message and told me they weren't supporting their product anymore...I have had excellent help with Blogger so I know that it is the change in the computers which has caused my inability to format as in the past...What you'll see if what the computer has done to change my layout.

Also during typing this last paragraph, some picture appear from the bottom of the screen.  The movement toward being smaller in size has resulted in what you might call "clicks" of multiple keys...that is, you don't know that something has been touched because you've been typing with no errors, or correcting errors you see on the screen...but have no idea how these appearance occur.

This is NOT where I dragged the picture to...
One thing I've noticed is that the mouse and the typing do not synchronize as on the earlier computers--I was previously a manger of information systems and had a network of personal computers. This type of thing never happened with the earlier desktops.  Now, you may be typing and need to made some adjustment. FIRST, you have to click to find where your cursor is and then move it back to where you wanted to use it, for example to backspace...

And right now I am returning to start over, the computer closed down itself to update...no longer are messages sent ahead to let you decide whether you want to start!

It has been said that the mouse is on the way out...but will touch screens be any better? I don't know...but I do have the experience of touch on my Kindle... which is another review...

Advocate Joan Price Provides Senior Erotica...

c. 1800-1803 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "You are so beautiful! Your hair is shining. You have a beautiful figure! You feel so good in my arms! I missed you so much! I love you to no end! Let's make love right now!" "Just like a typical guy years younger, Max is always ready to go before I am. "I am so horny," he whispers hoarsely into my ear. I smile, enjoying his eagerness... "I want to kiss you all over," he mumbles into my neck as his hands begin to roam... "There's something I want to do, and I hope you will allow me." he begins, rather formally... "I want to kiss you all over and lick your vagina!" "I gasp, feigning shock. "I'll let you as long as you do it as long and as thoroughly as you did last week." "We did it last week?" ~~~ Ageless Erotica Edited by Joan Price I met Joan on line a number of years ago when she was writing a book. Finding her name in my files, I we

The Harbinger - Continued Reading... Have you become Interested?

Nuriel Kaplan has convinced the individual to whom he is pitching his book... and she is willing to listen... “All right, Nouriel. Tell me about your mystery.” “It’s not my mystery. It’s much bigger than me. You have no idea how big, or what it involves.”  “And what does it involve?” “Everything. It involves everything, and it explains everything…everything that’s happened, that’s happening, and everything that’s going to happen.”  “What do you mean?”  “Behind September 11…” “How could an ancient mystery possibly have anything to do with September 11?”  “An ancient mystery behind everything from 9/11 to the economy…to the housing boom…to the war in Iraq…to the collapse of Wall Street. Everything in precise detail.” And it’s not only a mystery, it’s a message, an alarm.” “An alarm?” she asked. “An alarm of what?”  “Of warning.” “To whom?”  “America.” “Why?” “When you hear it,” he said, “you’ll understand why.”  ~~~ OK, how good are you at listening to information, s

A Biker's Funeral from the Novel, Running With Wild Blood By Gerrie Ferris Finger

I’m easily amused. Lake circled the rental car around Palms Garden Cemetery. A spiked, wrought iron fence kept the dead in, otherwise, who knew? They might run out and vote. I didn’t say that to Lake for fear of an unappreciative groan.  At the white stone gates, at intervals , the uniformed cop held up a hand to allow other boulevard traffic to flow past the line of bikes and cars waiting to enter the city of the  dead. My skin started to hum. The voltage in the atmosphere was amped to the max despite the fanning palms doing their damndest to make this day a  celebration of the dead. “Don’t anyone light a match,” Lake said. Riley "Big Red" O'Rourke We weaved and shouldered our way through throngs of bikers, some startled at seeing three people not wearing cut, sleeveless denim, or leather, or visible tattoos— until they caught the badges. They growled and spit, then went back to their conversations. Lots of fucks and fuckers bein
