Tuesday May 2 2017  WOW!  WHAT A MARVELOUS DAY!

Yesterday while taking a class at the Apple Store I asked a few questions regarding my computer and mentioned to the staff how my computer doesn’t always have the best manners.  It was suggested by one of the workers that I should have a ONE TO ONE session over the telephone so as to disarm my most recently purchased computer of all her tantrums.  The store set up a telephone appointment for me this morning at 8:00 a.m. to talk to one of their Apple technicians.  I had no idea the value of such an appointment.  I share this information with my readers who are trying to master the new Apple computers.  I find mine to be quite a bit different from my old user friendly MAC. 

And one telephone call later my life has been changed!  I was about to boot the little monster out the door and regress back to ages past by reverting back my ancient (10 year old) computer.  But, I am now quite happy because Apple Care came to the rescue. Perchance you may not know this bit of information, I would like to inform you that if you own an Apple computer of any kind (iphone, iPad, desktop, laptop, or iMax, free tutelage is provided.  And if there is any other “i” thing available you would probably be eligible to receive that service also. 

I have now taken many classes at the store, but I sometimes can’t follow because I am taking notes, and then when I look up I didn’t see the sequence of clicks and don’t know where to find the places to click.  Remember, getting old causes one to slow down a bit.  At least that is what I blame it on.  Since I have taken several one hour classes at the store I think I prepared for the ONE TO ONE session I had today.  Though Apple does not take control of the computer the teacher can join you by seeing your screen and giving you promptings with THEIR RED ARROW that skitters around where it is needed.  I loved it. 

Repetition (and notes) are my way of being able to retain information.  While on the phone I was able to luxuriate in doing just that.  My assistant was extremely patient and always helpful.  Her little red arrow was like a magic wand opening up my eyes.  I must admit I haven’t tried doing anything by myslf since she signed off but I want things to percolate a bit and then challenge myself to do it on my own.  One good thing is that I will still be taking classes (sometimes signing up for the same class more than once) until I understand this computer even better than I did my last one.

When all was said and our goodbyes were done I felt exhilarated!  I felt as if I had met a new friend; not only my computer but with the technician as well. Though I may never meet her, today she unselfishly offered me a part of herself by sharing her knowledge with me.  I can never thank her enough.  It’s a big world and it takes a lot of people to make it go around.  Today I thank my latest angel for coming into my life with such patience and understanding to help an older brain grab on, and hold on, to the information which had eluded it!  And that brain would be mine!

WOW!  WHAT A MARVELOUS DAY

Wow, what a day! In an excellent way.

I fell in love!  And with the help of a cloud above

I am now aware!  Because of Apple-Care

A new romance kindled, which had dwindled.

I now see light, which was out of sight.

Help desperately needed and Apple-Care heeded.

So much I learned of what I yearn.

It made me jolly, due to the help of Holly!

What an amazing gift!  Without a rift

She filled up the hole of what I didn’t know.

Courage she gave as she trundled brave!

Many thanks to Apple care from whom she was paid.

There is no way I can adequately portray

With words stated because she is so highly rated!

Her knowledge and help, was so well dealt!

Her teaching was awesome, causing my heart to blossom.

Perhaps technology is now tops in the “OLOGYS”!

She has opened my eyes, my limit the skies!

Info linked together and hopefully won’t sever

Until I can do it again, and embrace my computer as friend.

Thank You God for sending the perfect angel into my life today!

Thank You for all the unseen gifts I receive each day from You!

Thank You God for exclamations marks because I really needed them today!

GOD BLESS YOU!  I PRAY YOU HAVE A MARVELOUS DAY TOO!

P.S.  Thanks little angel down there in Texas!

P.S.S.  God, thank you for telephones.
