Lord only knows I’m not a technophobe, but I must admit defeat when it comes to using our new Tablet. I mean, my fingers are hardly big and clunky, but when it comes to selecting one from a list of links, I’ve got no chance. So I tried using the end of a pencil as a probe, but that doesn’t work either… and I’m none too hot when it comes to making notes on it…
On the other hand, the Tablet (which, in a mad moment the OH decided to name ‘Zeta’ – sometimes it’s wisest not to ask) is excellent when it comes to photographing documents.
OH has now announced that he’s going to buy me a SmartPhone (my present phone, which I’ve had for 20 years, is anything but smart: I have it only for calls. I don’t even text on it, because I’ve never worked out how to turn off the predictive text.) This apparently will make my life so much easier…
So, if you see someone in a local archive staggering under the weight of a laptop, a SmartPhone, a Tablet and pencil and paper, do come and say hello – it’s bound to be me.
