Are you like me? Do you have a hard time reading the text posted by Gerald Pea??? Why does he constantly post text at a 6 pt. level? Occasionally he has a 6pt. followed by a 12pt. and then it goes to a 16pt. Sometimes this Blog really annoys me. How many of you can "Copy and Paste"???
Is it me? Is a computer a hard thing to learn? Please advise, I am trying to understand why the older generation has such a hard time with this.
ALSO - Can anyone tell me the reasons behind "Single Click vs. Double Click"???

Dear lil' Pea, I think I can shed some light on your quandry. I consider Pea an enlightened computer user. He is far ahead of most folks over 50. The reason he may vary that "pt" stuff is because he knows how to change the "pt" stuff.
We were introduced to computers in the 90's. They were tools that our employer gave us to work with. We grabbed some young turk and had them show us how to turn the thing on and then we read the instructions THAT USED TO COME WITH EVERY MACHINE. Now, no instructions. Imagine purchasing a machine capable of reaching around the world in an instant, being capable of doing almost anything and yet not giving the end user an operator's manual. Some 20 year old thought that it wasn't necessary. Everybody in his world knew what to do.
When we were born they still used a horse and wagon to sell fruit door to door. Not every home had a TV or clothes dryer. Most of what is in our kitchen and TV room did not exist during our learning years.
We didn't have the luxury of going to our private bedroom and spending hours playing with this new machine that could do anything. We used them to do a few things in work.
I guess it's like seeing a 65 year old woman driving a brand new corvette. Most young folks look at her and think "what a waste". She drives it and thinks "who cares".
He uses it his way. We enjoy it. Who cares what else it can do?
Now go back to your bedroom and play fantasy sports with your Mac.
Speak up again and we'll hit you with a TV antenna!
by the way Jason, why is Yogi Berra on the cover of that book?
Go Phils!!
