Yes it finally arrived!!!!! It got here in late afternoon and we have started with the installations already. I was able to get my internet connections set up and actually used them to access the forum that I moderate. Everything worked ok there. Couldn't remember the address to here, I've got to set up my browser favorites and have to get my list of favorite internet addresses out. I was almost afraid to use it, afraid I'd break it. My husband is laughing at this. He says I can't break it unless I drop it or smash it.

It is a beautiful laptop, so many new things to learn! But the basic concept is still the same as the one I used while we were at Mayo. We just have to get the bugs worked out and teach me how to use all the new stuff. We still have some things we have to purchase to make the working of all of it more comfortable for me, but it looks like it will fit my shakey hands, blurry eyes, and just generally make my life a lot easier.

Just as soon as we can learn how to operate all the bells and whistles, I'll put a photo of me working on it.

I was just so excited all day waiting for it to arrive. I'm not going to run you all thru one of my long thankyou's. But Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!! I'm sure there are going to be some questions of all the computer savy folks on here as I learn how to use all of the things the machine offers me.

You are truely wonderful people and I love you all!

I hope you will enjoy it for a long time to come! Do post a photo, I for one would love to see if my own mental image of a "Silverlady" is even remotely accurate.

Nope,
You're gonna be surprised! I'm not silver headed. I'm a fiery redhead with large brown eyes! Everyone always thinks I'm a silverheaded woman. The name Silverlady actually came from the fact that I use a lot of silver in my jewelry making. Some people called me the "silver lady". It just seemed appropriate when I started posting here. It was the first thing that came to my mind. But I will post a pic as soon as we figure out how to do it.

SILVER was the most precious of metals...gold was insignificant by comparison. Silver was harder to find -
Learning to use all the bells and whistles is one thing....FINDING them where-ever they are hiding is quite another!

Now you can 'do' stuff and not put your healing off schedule! That is why there are soo many good people in this world!

It is just great to see you that excited about it! I hope all the adrenalin doesn't flood your hormonal-neural circuits It seems you are embracing the fun and excitement . . . as well as all the new stuff you will (out of necessity!) learn. As always, please don't hesitate to ask about things -- you know that we would love to help you . . . . and we get a little bonus by making that laptop more real.
