Did You Miss Me?

I'm back...new computer and new learning curves for how to use it.
What have I lost, and what have I gained?
The new computer has Windows 8 on it.  That's a whole new world for me.
I decided, after many long years, to dump AOL software in favor of online experiences.
But after the initial set-up time, I have adjusted fairly easily because of--ta-dah!--a free program called Team Viewer.

Team Viewer is a program that allows another person to see and take control of your computer, just one session at a time.  Of course, it needs to be someone you trust...and I trust my daughter and son-in-law.  As soon as we got Team Viewer downloaded on the new computer, I turned it over to them...and, glory be!...I haven't had that tough a time working on the new systems.  They hooked me up to virtually everything on the Internet that I use.  (I'd really like to tell the Team Viewer folks what a godsend their program is, but I haven't found a way to do that.)

In short, I am very happy with the new configuration.  I have a full-sized keyboard hooked up to the new computer, which helps me a lot.  It's all I need in life!  I'm still working to tidy up the situation around the old configuration.  Works for me!  I have my land-line phone, my TV, and my computer.  All's right with the world!
