Luckygirl

Yes I have new one that’s different to navigate too.

It always takes me a while to fathom out how a new laptop works - even more confusing because I sometimes have to use my husband's PC whereas I work on a Mac.

Good luck!

I know how you feel Luckygirl13
? for you, now a glass or cup of something soothing ?

OMG, don't do that! I just saw the word 'died' and thought we were getting bad news!

Oops - no, not died - still up and running.

My laptop ceased to be when I downloaded an update - it was a Lenovo laptop and a Lenovo update. They wanted to charge me to try and mend it; including £30 carriage. My computer guy said it was not worth sending it as it was dead beyond repair. I am about to have words with them!

Same here Luckygirl when I saw a thread with your name I automatically thought something happened to you! Luckily that’s not the case!

I think having words is definitely on the cards Luckygirl3 sock it to them.
I hate getting used to new devices so confusing. Good luck

Worried about my old laptop now. 11 years old and still plodding on but for how much longer?

I also had a sinking feeling seeing your name.

I should stay in bed because I have a new computer and TV. Nothing is simple for my birdbrain these days.

It is not your birdbrain - it is the fact that everything technological is getting more complicated!

I have sent a complaint to Lenovo and copied it in to You and Yours. Can anyone think of any other consumer programmes that I could contact. I just feel that others need warning about this; and I am furious that they say it is my fault when they sent it to me telling me to update!

I saw a post by Luckygirl3 the other day and took offence that someone was using a similar name. So glad it's really you!!

Hello Luckygirl3 ?

Just to say that Calistemon is Callistemon but I had problems with trying to put on an adblocker.

I think only two eagle-eyed posters noticed ?

Yes I know how it feels because I too feel baffled with all the new technology with now having to learn how to use a different computer.

If its confusing to younger folk you can imagine what it is like at my age of 91.

These examples are exactly the reason why I have been stalling over buying a new laptop.......mine is getting really old and slow and doesn't remember things as well as it used to rather like it's owner.

91 Maywalk- wonderful.

I wonder, are you the Doyenne of GN, and can another Gran 'beat that' - bravo.

Glad you are alive and kicking vigorously Luckygirl! Re modern technology my husband always said it should come with a teenager to explain things. ?

My heart sank too! Glad it's only your laptop that died!

My Chromebook has to be recharged much more often that it used to need. I could buy a new battery, but wouldn't have a clue how to put it in; or I could buy a new laptop. Or I could go on using it plugged in, as it is at the moment. Decisions...decisions.

Try mentioning your problem on Twitter and highlighting the Lenovo tag. I've found this to be really helpful. Companies don't like to have their shortcomings publicly highlighted and respond far quicker than via phone or email

Computer Active magazine online would probably like to know about it too…

Good suggestions - thank you.

My mouse died..... ????️?... I bought a wireless one... Awwww man... Im happy as a sandboy... ???

Why is it that technology is getting more complicated? My Kindle used to be brilliant but now it has so many bells and whistles I am totally confused.
