It sounds heavenly. The trouble is that I'm computer unsophisticated.
I don't know how to do anything except turn it on, type and post, and
learning to do that was a challenge. Every time I've had to adjust to
something new, I've been in a bad mood for days, even worse than NPR's
pledge week. I'm not about to convince my boyfriend to get me xnews
just so I can killfile. It wouldn't be worth the aggravation.
