Why can't all computers work the same

What a day.  Started out by meeting a very interesting young man who is studying the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the children of Veterans and Genetics of PTSD.
Ken has an interesting site here Intergenerational PTSD and if you are a child or grand child or related to a Returned from Active Service Veteran, you should read this page.

After meeting up with Ken I headed off to the Gym and did my combined program and chat with the Team.  I find the Gym good in a couple of directions.  1. when you leave you can feel the energy within after doing a good workout.  You buzz.  If you don't buzz, then you haven't worked out hard enough. 2. the social aspect of mixing with people with a like mind all doing something about their health and fitness.  I workout at the Goodlife Health & Fitness Rockhampton in Robinson Street next door to the North Rockhampton Police Station.  A great team of friendly instructors and personal trainers and very chatty smiling staff, always willing to help in any way that they can.

In the afternoon I headed over to the Rockhampton Library to Tutor the U3A Computer Club week 4.  Now there is just something about computers, they never display what you see at home.  We were lucky today we had Maxy, who had worked with Blogs before and was able to provide great assistance to eager students.  I go over the notes for the day, check the web and ensure the notes will work on the day.  But not todays notes.  Whether it is something to do with Vista or XP I don't know.  So todays class was very badly run, in a mix match fashion with some students successfully making a Blog, while others created then lost and started again and because of Bing, one student ended up composing her Blog in Wordpress.  Not that there is anything wrong with Wordpress, but the choice of the day was to get people Blogging on Google Blog.

For those keen to move on, the Class notes are on the U3A web site  as Classnotes and you can download a PDF copy of the notes if you wish.

These lovely flowers came from Carolyn and Barney - Thankyou

So lets hope next week is better
