[nabs-l] JAWS and operating systems

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Marsha,

Oh, I understand what you mean. Technology is changing so quickly it
keeps my head spinning. Which, talking about it, what are tablets?
Anyone?

I tend to use computers and software and whatever else as long as I can
too. Honestly, even when employed full-time, who wants to keep
purchasing and upgrading? That's the biggest concern. Putting hundreds,
even thousands, of dollars into this stuff over and over because it
keeps changing, well that just stresses me out. I'd much rather spend
hundreds of dollars maintaining my wardrobe. I will have my Vera Wang
shoes someday! LOL

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Bridgit, 

Honestly, I do not think anyone can be an "expert: in any specific
technology. Things are moving too fast to keep up. I am by no means a
spring chicken, and either I am too old, out of the loop, or something,
because I can't keep up. I have stopped trying to keep up. In say the
90's you could be good at many different technology aspects, but not
now. 

I use every laptop or computer until I no longer possibly can not use it
any longer. The last laptop I had, the screen broke off, then it started
acting weird. I have had this one for 3 years and will use it until it
dies. 

I don't get some of this fangled stuff. Now with that said I do have an
iphone, and could not live without my iphone, but I probably don't use
it the same as someone who is say in their teens does.
