TODAY......

AS I SIT HERE AT MY DESK, LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE TOWANS (SAND DUNES), FLUMOXED ONCE AGAIN BY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MY HP OFFICEJET PRO AND MY ZOOSTORM LAPTOP, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER HOW COMPLICATED TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE OUR LIVES. AND YET....IT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THINGS EASIER.

TO DO WHAT I WANT MEANS COPYING THE WORDING I NEED FROM A DOCUMENT, IN ORDER TO CREATE A NEW DOCUMENT. EASY..JUST SCAN IN THE ORIGINAL, SAVE IT, CUT AND PASTE THE BITS I WANT, TWEAK IT SAVE IT AND HEY PRESTO, A NEW TAYLORED DOCUMENT. NOW TO PRINT IT.

NOT SO! THE SCANNER WONT SEND TO COMPUTER. SO NOW AFTER HALF AN HOUR OF TIME WASTING, TRYING TO GET THE TWO TO COMMUNICATE I RESORT TO DOING SOMETHING ELSE HOPING THAT THE NEXT TIME I TRY IT'LL WORK!!

IN THE PAST I WOULD HAVE SAT DOWN, TYPED A NEW DOCUMENT AND PRINTED IT.
IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ABOUT TWO HOURS. THIS WAY WILL PROBABLY TAKE TWO DAYS!!

AND ANYWAY, 'RELATIONSHIP'?? WHO SAID TWO BITS OF TECHNOLOGY COULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP!!

OH WELL, I'D BETTER GET ON WITH SOME OTHER TASK. I'LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW!

TTFN!
