Still Trying To Figure It Out

I'm still trying to figure all this blog stuff out. I am only writing for my self at the moment and maybe forever but that doesn't bother me. I'm just surprised at how little I know and understand about computers.

Before I went to college in 1988, I had never even touched a computer. I remember walking in the bookstore on campus and seeing all the computers and wanting one so badly. I was 17 at the time and had no money whatsoever, so how would I be able to afford one.

I wasn't able to purchase a computer than. I did not purchase my first computer until I was 31.

I have to give credit to my college though, they tried to teach someone like me about computer but I never had any formal training. One of my first basic English classes was actually a computer class. Ahhh...the floppy disk. I could get by with using WordPerfect but my lack of computer skills were much more evident in my computer labs.

I attend college as a Chemistry major (maybe not my brightest decision). When we did lab experiments, all our data needed to be entered into the computer so that graphs and the like could be produced. That was the worst thing I ever had to do. It use to take me 3 or 4 times longer than every one else.

I'm still not those most computer literate person but I can at least hold my own.
