I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. How technology has changed in thirty or so years is amazing. I can barely use this phone and I'm at a complete loss on this laptop computer.

To Henry Townshend

Hello Henry. I just wanted to check and see how you were doing.

	We can see what you're saying so you are doing something right! Should the laptop become too frustrating, a method of relieving yourself of annoyance is throwing it out a window. The explosion of plastic and metal bits is delightful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's good. However, don't ask how long it took me to get that message posted. That seems rather an impulsive thing to do when frustrated and it would break the computer. I've only recently acquired and was told I need to learn how to use it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose though that isn't quite as entertaining. The usual way of learning seems to be practice, practice, practice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you like to break things? That is true and in this case I need a lot of practice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luxbringer 2022-10-28 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes. It's a wildly unappreciated form of problem solving. However if you keep using these forums you will learn very quickly as people here do like to talk with their fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Problem solving? Maybe a release of built up frustration, but I don't believe breaking things would solve problems. I hope to learn how to use the phone and laptop computer because apparently you can do anything and everything on them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is true. Humanity has made it such that most of their lives are contained on a singular device. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-10-29 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	It seems strange to have so much of your life on one device. Maybe I'll feel different in time. Perhaps it's no different than a filing cabinet or safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luxbringer 2022-10-29 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Or agendas. You should have seen how people would plan their lives out in those bloody books before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-10-29 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	That's like a planner? I'm familiar with those. I suppose they help if you have a busy schedule. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luxbringer 2022-10-29 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know how they would help but I have no interest in actually charting my life out so that may be why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps your life isn't as busy as others. Or busy in a different way. I would think if one had a family and tried only to remember all the different appointments and activities, events and such it wouldn't be easy. So having a planner or something else to keep track of them would be helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luxbringer 2022-10-30 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yes but you would also have to enter it all in just to try and remember it down the line. What if you lost the book? Then you would certainly be in trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	Are you too lazy to write things down? I don't know anyone who can remember everything. Especially humans. And I find your reasoning poor. If one lost it then it's lost. They can get another. That's like saying I won't buy a car because I might lose keys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luxbringer 2022-10-30 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	I prefer spontaneity. Very few things actually need to be scheduled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	A welcome remains to be seen. You can't fault humans for needing a planner or whatever they choose to keep track of things. Though I do not believe you were faulting them, so I take that back. You're merely different from them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, Louis. I'm ok. What about you? You've never used a computer before? Maybe I can help. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis brokendarkangel 2022-10-28 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	Just okay? I'm doing my best to settle in here. It's odd without any of the comforts of home. I would very much appreciate any help. I'm lost on what on how to use it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis room_302 2022-10-30 06:49 am UTC (link)
	The laptop in this apartment is wicked nice. Don't tell anyone, but I've been using it. It's a lot nicer than the one I have at home an the connection is wicked fast. I could show you how to use your computer, if you want? It's pretty easy once you get used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 01:48 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. I'd like that. I need help. I don't know what to do with it or how to use it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis room_302 2022-10-30 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	You're at least on the internet if you're posting here, so that's good. I might be able to help with some stuff, depending on what you want to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Someone wrote down how to do that on the phone I have, but it's still a struggle for me. I don't wish to bother you. I'm sure I can find help from someone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis brokendarkangel 2022-10-30 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	I'm working on something at the moment. Maybe you could stop by around 6:30? If you're not busy that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis room_302 2022-11-01 12:08 am UTC (link)
	I'm not busy. I'll come over then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Henry/Louis brokendarkangel 2022-11-01 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. I really do appreciate the help. (Reply to this) (Parent)
