Computer Tip of the Week

$Account.OrganizationName
Delete Items Permanently
Keep the Recycle Bin Empty
Greetings!

Do you remember to empty the Recycle Bin frequently? (See page 49 of The Simple Basics and Beyond for these instructions.) You can permanently delete items (icons, documents, folders, etc.) by holding down the Shift key while pressing the Delete key. When you do this, the items are permanently deleted. However, make sure you never want to get them back because they will NOT go to the Recycle Bin. They're permanently gone.

Starry night
Remember Father's Day

My friend M'Liss Hunter is a Realtor with Frontier GMAC Real Estate here in Denver. She sent out a really cute e-mail the other day with quotes about fathers. I thought I would share one or two with you. It's called Kids Say the Darndest Things (shades of Art Linkletter!).

"I shouldn't ask my dad what a word means unless I want to look it up in the dictionary." (How many times have you used that one?)

"Dear God, I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over." What funny things do you remember your kids saying when they were small?

My two grandsons, Aiden and Rhys, were playing with PlayDoh recently and I asked them what they were making. Aiden (3 1/2) replied that he was making spaghetti. Great-grandma was also playing and she said she was making green beans. Rhys, the 2 1/2 year old replied, "Grandma, I'm making sushi!" I hope I never forget that one. It's priceless!


Today I'll be picking up the second printing of my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond. Do you have your copy yet? If not, click here to order. Start learning ways to make your computer more user friendly!

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
