Danica got a new Windows 8.1 Touchscreen laptop for her birthday. We spent 3 hours customizing the hard drive,
folders, downloading and installing web browsers, media players and Google
Drive (nee Docs). It was the most I have
ever taught/shown someone in my life in a single sitting. I was not really trying to teach her full PC
competence, more nearly I sat at my PC explaining and demonstrating how my PC
was laid out and what she should do next.
She did it with few questions nor mistakes. It was very impressive on her part. We got interrupted by a phone call and
realized it time for a break.
It was great to be able to help someone setup their new laptop going
from barebones Windows to nearly all they need in just a few hours. I could hardly have done it faster on my
own. I greatly enjoyed helping someone
make great progress in a short time. Danica
was extremely pleased with her new hardware and knowledge.
Sandy and Victor made an accepted offer on a condo in the building
where they had been renting. They are
going to a loan officer tomorrow instead of lunch. I am very happy for her.
Leslee is going to buy a new car for the first time in 30ish years that
will likely last her the rest of her driving days.
I am very grateful for my friends making progress in their lives, my PC
skills, and to be able to help others in a way that was fun, enjoyable and
productive for both of us. Then we had
pork fajitas for dinner!
