Oh, Shucks Again

I sure don't know what the heck happened. I had no time to write a blog post yesterday. I'll tell you why. On the computer for about four or five hours trying to read my e-mail and barely got through it. I ordered a new program that's supposed to speed up my writing, but every time I hit the download button, up came a message telling me that there was an error. After about six times trying again, I decided to let it rest. Maybe my credit card had to be processed or something. I went back to reading mail and interrupted it to try the download again. Finally, about three-thirty PM, I tried it once more, having read my email, but still nothing but the darn error popping up.  I had to shut down the PC and do something else, thinking I would download the program in the morning.

Surprise, no download. I will have to try the support site sometime, but not today. I have too many other things to do. Maybe tomorrow morning it will work. I've done everything I'm supposed to do, even received my completed order form. Something's fishy, but I'm not going to contact Support just yet. I'll give it one more chance Saturday morning and keep my fingers crossed.

    2. I'm thinking about giving it a try myself but the, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," keeps running through my mind - good luck!

    3. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. If the instructions are not too complicated, I might like it. Never to old to try something new.

  2. Technology can be great when it all runs smoothly, but it's so frustrating when it doesn't.

    1. You can say that again, but you don't have to. Technology is wonderful most of the time, but I finally received my program Scrivener).

  3. Oscar, by the time you read this I hope you'll have downloaded the programme successfully. The faster the technology, the more complicated it can be.

  4. Always seems to work that way. You try to do something to ease your work load and it ends up making it heavier.
