Windows 11 won’t load onto my ancient PC, which leaves me vulnerable to all of the nastiness that flows beyond my secure bubble world. Although I don’t use my PC for tons of online applications, the few I access daily would wave a brilliant red flag to hackers everywhere.
A quick online search and even faster view of my current budget revealed that my PC couldn’t be modified, which forced me to examine all options and decide to go back to embracing an iMac again as my son didn’t need his Mac mini. Over the years, my son’s generosity gave me access to iPads and a laptop I loved for many years before he built me my own PC.
Each time I change between a PC and iMac, the learning curve increases. Technology never stays still, and what each platform offers from one year to the next means I’m having to learn how to access all of the “bells and whistles” as I shift from Word to Pages. As I write this passage, I’m unable to locate a thesaurus although I cannot imagine one not being an easy click away.
My optimistic nature reminds me that learning something new always proves beneficial to my mental health and wellbeing. Beginning again will challenge me with every word written and every photograph taken. At the moment, I can't figure out how to download a picture to this post! Oh! Here it goes!!
