Initially I thought I was doing okay but all of a sudden I seemed to be experiencing one problem after the other, nothing seemed to work. In fact I have not done much for a while due to my frustrations and discouragement. Of course I will go back to it but I needed a break. But thanks to the communication system and how it has been set up I can see it will be very hard to give up due to the support and encouragement I am receiving from Judy, Ruth and other participants such as Sue and Tessa. Anyway iIwill try and follow all the instructions given and I am hoping I will make some progress. Having said that I still keep having loads of ideas I hope they will be possible when I eventually get to understand the computer and the applications. By the way I actually called my brother on saturday using skype and decided to turn the camera on. I had the account activated previously but was not bothered to use it and I didn’t have a web cam but with this computer it was fun, unfortunately because he didn’t have his webcam on, I could’t see him but he could see me. He is an ICT technician working in a school and his wife is a teacher working in South East, they were so impressed by what our borough is doing and by the Macbook. But I must say when he came to see me with another brother of mine who is into computers as well, they found using the Mac book challenging and that made me feel a little better and the affirmation that the computer just needs getting used to.
