Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 25, 2024

“If it ain’t broke, you’re not trying.” Red Green

Always software up dates!

I think they just change the “key” words.

I have a similar problem with my phone. Always hitting the wrong buttons. (How do kids do it with just thumbs?) Will the phone be broken when he throws it down in frustration?

Usually it’s due to Fat Finger wrong entries on adjacent keys.

A Non-Issue if you only use the Phone … as a talking phone ;-)

Just like your lawn mower, you have change plugs every 25 hours.

If it ain’t broke, then fix it ‘til it is.

My stepmother never got the hang of touch screens. I wouldn’t mind another round of exasperation now… :’/

At time like these, I remember the Shoe Cartoon when he hovered over his computer holding a big mallet and said – “Compute this!”

I bought my granddaughter-in-law a phone for Christmas. My great-grandson dropped in the toilet and now she’s mad because I bought her a “cheap” phone. Go figure.

I say it almost daily-“First, I have to be smarter than my phone!”

Haha, that’s me! (in my 70s)

Plugger says he needs a snack now.

he could read the manual — no, let’s not get crazy

Because your fingers are too fat?

My first smartphone was Palm Centro. That little thing is still my favorite. It was followed by a Blackberry – not as good, but okay. This was followed by a Samsung Android – I was okay with this. It was fairly new when I when told by cell phone co that I had to switch – it was a 4G but service for it was discontinued when they stopped service to 3G phones.

I now have a Motorola – it is the phone from heck!! Husband had told me that it would all be the same as the Samsung – no, I can’t use any of the apps I had before. I have gotten persnickety as I aged and I want things to look the same. I don’t want icon pictures in my calendar. It never seems to want to work with me.

I still keep all 4 phones updated with calendar and contacts. I sync the Palm with Lotus Organizer as it was the best calendar/organizer I have used and use the Palm as a PDA around the house. Husband installed a virtual XP machine in my laptop and in my desktop computers so I can continued to sync these two.

Oh – also – if I do not position the Motorola exactly right in my hand it is so big that it falls off the back of my hand!!
