What I learned today on the computer

I am leaning so much each day and amazingly enough, I live to tell the tale, Maryanne hasn't had to throttle
me to date as I am learning a little quicker than before.

Being a baby boomer the internet is something I have struggled with for some time now but something all sex workers should be embracing. When I first started in the Industry we only had landlines and spent so much time describing our service and looks over and over, often to people that had no intention of ever making a booking, and who knows how many genuine bookings we lost because they couldn't get through on the land line.

These days everything is up there for the client to see and when he makes a call it should be to make the booking.

As a baby boomer we have seen decimal currency,metric and the internet, its a lot in one lifetime to come to terms with and get your head around. I was 10 before we even had a TV now most people have them in each room! Our tel number was 2390 and kids were not allowed to touch the TV or use the phone! How things have changed.

So what have I learnt to day............ to cut and paste and copy and paste and to know the difference, now for all you it people groaning in disbelief that i could get so excited about something that is second nature to you, just humour me please, this is a huge milestone for me and I am sure there are lots like me who are slowly coming to terms with this cyperspace gig, again we only had outer-space and that was a million miles away.

Hi Sharaz,

You may find this link of some use...... :)

Also, make Google your best cyber friend......when you learn how to interrogate it, you'll find that it opens a lot of doors in resolving your queries.

Have fun,
Fudd :)

Re: What i learned today on the computor

you can also 'right-click' after you've selected some text. this brings up a menu where you can select the cut/copy/paste options. Once yo've copied, place your cursor where you'd like to copy and then right-click again and select paste. Finally, you can use the 'edit' menu and choose the functions there. I've found that different people use different methods, and its good to have options depending on where your fingers and mouse are at on the keyboard!

Re: What i learned today on the computor

I think quite often people do make the mistake of saying how the computer has brought people closer together. I tend to disagree - I think it's split up people even more. The personal interaction and fun and adventure with it has now gone. If e.g. you were in a group of people at a party, you'd meet many people of different backgrounds with different interests and people you'd normally never have met.

Now, if you're interested in let's say sex or rose growing - you'd meet people of that interest - sure they'd still be from different backgrounds with different interests but I'd say the conversation online would be very limited. And a lot of personal warmth is missing.

Don't get me wrong, the internet is very useful. And congratulations on your computerized adventures OP.

Highlight text, click and drag it to where you want it in stead of cut and pasting. Accidentally hit the caps lock? Highlight the offending text, go up to the top and find the change case button. Do a bit of googling, there are a lot of tips and tricks out there.

Umm....I am often told I'm a bit of a smart ass, but hey, to work here you have to have skin as thick as an elephants back-side anyway!

But...you might want to learn how to find 'Spell Check" in your next lesson...

Computor is actually Computer.... It works to draw attention to the title though...?

Lol! Please don't think I'm a bitch, I'm just stupidly picky when it comes to spelling and punctuation...

Sorry!

Lisa you should have edited it for her as she does not have admin to do so, and you do. Do you remember how to edit Titles.
Great work Shazz for a greeny you are doing very well impressed with what you picked up today on links etc.
