Yippee! It's my new laptop, folks!

Well, here it is! Only got it this morning, and needing a little time to navigate round it but we're getting there. Looking good, though.

      I know it'll let me get some really 'interesting' things at my fingertips, A.M. Exciting and 'stimulating' times ahead!

      New frustrations, A.M. Fiddling around requires such delicacy of touch that I keep overshooting. I do miss my mouse and am thinking about getting a remote one.

      Thanks, Walt. After many months, nay YEARS, of computer-induced headaches, life should now be a lot richer and certainly less frustrating.

      Thanks, Mitch, but it's rather slow at the moment - not my typing but it's how with the slightest feather touch strange things happen, like the entire page disappears! But it's a matter of getting accustomed, I suppose.

    Congratulations Ray! Get that wireless mouse though. I can't stand the track pad. Very annoying. Now you can see all the videos that I posted on my blog! (smile)
    So happy for you Ray.

      Thanks to you too, Ron. No excuses about not being able to view blogs now, and thank heavens for that! I reckon I'll be on this computer so much that I'm wondering how I'll have time for anything else.

      And to answer your question below, it's a 'Lenovo ideapad 100', if that means anything. The chap at the 'Laptop Shop' (which I only discovered last weekend by googling this town + 'laptop') was very helpful indeed and not at all condescending about my poor computer knowledge. This is the one he suggested (about half the price of the cheapest 'Apple' I could find) and so far I have no complaints at all - well, except for the ultra-sensitive keyboard. But I do think that remote mouse will overcome a lot of that.

      Ray,
      I think you made a good choice. I have heard good things about Lenova computers. As long as your computer isn't a Microsoft Windows based system which is a drag. Good luck with your "new" life. You'll enjoy checking out the blogs now. Plus all the "goodies" on the Internet.
      Ron

      I continue to be well satisfied, Ron, and am especially grateful to that small laptop shop I happened to find by chance by googling, with very helpful service. I wasn't aware it was there. It's not at all far from me by foot but in a direction I never go.

      Still having problems finding my way around, though - such as "Where' my 'favourites' list? It's got to be here somewhere. At moment have to find everything through Google which is getting a bit tedious. But overall still looking very good.

      Accepted with gratitude, Dr Spo. I only wish I could get my list of 'favourites' to work as before. It's getting very tedious to have to go though Google every time I want to go to a different site.

    Late congrats! I've had a Lenovo for years. While it's no longer my primary device since I made the change to Apple, it's a go to workhorse that never quits as my back up or when I just flat out need a PC.

    No regrets in the least so far, F.B. Each day I seem to be learning something new about how to operate it and it's coming out a dream. A little way to go yet but only suddenly coming into some money would make me want to put this aside and purchase an Apple, though I have indeed heard marvellous things about the latter.
