I know that I am going to sound VERY OLD here&#8230; but am I the only one who is getting tired of &#8220;improvements&#8221;?!?!?<\/p>\n<p>I finally had to chuck my AOL&#8230; I remember way back&#8230; when I first started using the computer, about 15 years ago&gt;&gt;&gt; I was the last hold-out in my household to join the modern world! Back then,\u00a0my relationship with my computer\u00a0seemed a whole lot easier. I could save pictures to put on my emails, I could make folders that kept all of my correspondence, I could get off of the computer without &#8220;it&#8221; keeping files hidden in my computer which would then mess up my computer&#8230; Computer life was sweet! (As my daughter would say&#8230; &#8220;Sweet&#8221; is the new &#8220;delicious&#8221;&#8212; which a lot of us used to use to describe something that was\u00a0totally super!)<\/p>\n<p>But, some good things actually do come to pass. AOL kept putting out new versions&#8230; which they touted as &#8220;improved&#8221; (or some such adjective.) I would usually try to put off &#8220;upgrading&#8221; to the new improved system. And, when I finally acquiesced and <strong>let<\/strong> <strong>my husband upgrade my AOL<\/strong> (since I was the only one in the family who used AOL) I would immediately find fault with the &#8220;improvements.&#8221; (That&#8217;s right&#8230; &#8220;let my husband&#8221; do the work&gt;&gt;&gt; Wasn&#8217;t I a good sport!?!)<\/p>\n<p>Well, this last &#8220;upgrade&#8221; has finally persuaded me that after fifteen years of using AOL,\u00a0I am ready to &#8220;go solo.&#8221; Yes, I have finally gotten fed up with all of the improvements&#8230; It seemed like this last upgrade meant that my husband had to keep fixing my computer when it &#8220;crashed.&#8221; And, I have enough computer questions for\u00a0my husband&#8230; questions about how to save pictures of cozy mystery books, covers, how to make a new category on the site, how to &#8220;go behind the scenes&#8221; of my pages and make changes, how to&#8230;. well you\u00a0get my drift.<\/p>\n<p>So, adieu to AOL&#8230; You were &#8220;delicious&#8221;\u00a0when I was learning my ins and outs of the computer&#8230; but your improvements just aren&#8217;t that &#8220;sweet&#8221; for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good grief!
