Bet you thought I meant a big, fire blowing dragon had invaded the house. Well, not quite, but this one is more work.
M has tried using the Dragon program two times before and failed at it. She always had one problem after another (mostly due to her own ineptness). So about 4 months ago she stopped using it for the 2nd time. Plus the program at the time required she type in a drop-down box for Tweetdeck, Facebook, email, and the bloggy. She found the drop-down box very cumbersome and always slowed her down.
About 2 weeks ago a salesman called her from Dragon and talked to her about the new improved 12 and how it was so much easier to use. Plus, she'd get 90 days of free help again. She liked the 90 days of free help again and the fact that she wouldn't have to use that dreaded drop down box again. So she told herself that this time she was going to lock herself in a room for a week and really learn it well, get all the bugs ironed out, and hopefully become somewhat efficient at it.
So pals, that's what she's doing Monday through Sunday of next week. She is not going to blog for me or herself, and unfortunately we won't be able to read blogs of my friends either. So sorry pals, but M's typing is getting really bad because of the Parkinson's so she has to learn Dragon to compensate for it. Hope you all will understand. I do need her to be able to type for me or I won't be on Twitter or have a blog anymore.
Thanks everyone. Next post will be dictated. Woohoo - think I'll plug my ears!

Hey there! Nissy here.

makes Mom's fingers all sweaty just thinking about opening up new software
ReplyDeleteWe hope M doesn't get too frustrated learning the program! We know she will get the hang of it, though :)
ReplyDeleteOur mom needs to learn it, too. Hers is always complaining about hers wrists and arms hurting from previous surgeries and cubitol tunnel syndrome (whatever that is, MOL!).
Good luck to M, and we look forward to reading your next post!!
