computer order

[robert flynt]

Kevin, I am truely struggling with this computer, I even sent a private message for you to brown down by mistake! Tried to correct this by forwarding it to you. If you got it you can see my flustration, for which I'm truely sorry. Bought some wood from Stockmaker, which I haven't received, and Barry. Both were gracious enough to steer me through the process. You know, I can do most anything successfully with my hand, even take a centrifugal hundred of thousands of dollars and put it back together working in thousands to half thousands but this computer I struggle with!
Help Robert!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem Robert - just don't let it get you so frustrated that it makes it worse. Let's figure out what problems you're having. What is the worst thing you're struggling with right now - let's take one thing at a time and we'll get it figured out.

Probably should get my grand daughter to come over and teach the termanology. So when you tell me to do this or that I might not know how to do it but at least I'll know what your talking about. If you don't mind, when you give me instruction I might have to ask you how to accomplish the task. Know when to use PMs, E-mail and so forth will help. That way I won't offend or step on anyones toes.

Robert- do not feel bad- we are wood workers- not computer geeks. I am the original computer yutz. I have had to stumble through everything. If needed pm me also.

What computer are you working on a PC IR MAC. I can help with a Mac but not a PC. I can also help if you want to PM me with additional questions. I am also computer illiterate but can manage to post on this site if that helps comfort you. It's all a learning curve but once you have it Down its simple as turning a bowl or making a box!! If I can help let me know as well!! You made it this far, you can't give up now

Hi, my name is Jason and i am a wood worker but i am also a in the IT profession and have a pretty good handle on computers and computer related questions so feel free to pm me or ask a question if needed.

From you last post you asked what WTB is, if i understand it right, i think you are looking for the Want to Buy room or thread.

Its on the main page

Hang in there. good people here. Rick

I spent over an hour making several posts here for you Robert and posted it, and now it is gone. This upgrade is killing us. Entire posts are now missing. I can't believe how bad this is. I will get around to redoing it all in a day or two. It was all about showing you how to post images etc. Sorry for this messed up forum.

It would nice if that is what caused our problem but I have resigned my self to the fact that it was me. Once I get the protocall ( step 1,2,3 etc.) down pat and learn all the acronims thing should smooth out. Maybe I wont be so helter skelter trying to send a message through and then a reply.

No Robert, it was not you at all believe me. We are by coincidence going through a major "server" change and many posts have been lost since around midnight. Most of them were mine! I am just as computer illiterate as you, just on a different level. Don't balme yourself for everything Robert most of it is my fault!

But let's not let it get to us.

 

[Jason]

No worries Robert. I have spent the last 20 years of my life with computers so things are easier for me but i still get mess up sometimes myself.

Feel free anytime to hit me up.
