Hubby.
Doctor of everything.
Master of the physical universe.
Lover of all tools.
Connoisseur of machines.
He believes man's job is to lord over machines.
Me. I could live without them, and do my best work with simple implements.
For years, I needed nothing more.
When I retired and started writing, he bought me a tablet computer. On that tablet, I could write in long hand and with a few strokes, convert the handwriting to print. Slowly, I learned the ins and out of that computer and began blogging.
Recently, that machine quit on me and Hubby decided I needed a major upgrade. In comes a new computer.
For weeks, I have not been able to upload new pictures, nor do simple editing on my word processing new applications.Now, all my fingers want to do is go where they went before. No! They need to move differently, and learn positions all over again. They need to be conscious and precise in different ways than before. They need to adjust.
Hubby's work was to help people and machines work better together. Yeah. His job was to design contraptions to be user friendly, even inventing phrases like 'user-friendly'.
How frustrating to have a wife who is an unfriendly user!
