Thing 7 has stopped me in my tracks. I checked out the Microsoft SurfacePro two days in a row. Each day, I was unable to get any apps from the Microsoft app store. When I asked Meredith to help me on each day, she also was unable to get into the store. I felt what chance do I have if even she had trouble! A week or two later, she told me that there was some problem with SurfacePro or Microsoft or something... but that Ellen had fixed it.
I admit that I have been slow to come back to 19 things after that frustrating experience. Today, many weeks later, I thought to use the IPad as I have always had good luck using it - however they were all checked out once again. I took the Nook HD but when I went to Google Play store, both Pinterest and Pushbullet told me that my device was not compatible with the apps.
Frustrated once again, I decided to download the GPL app that Ellen demonstrated in our ADS staff meeting two days ago. Hallelujah, it worked beautifully. I used databases, checked for items, looked at programs [ what a interesting and numerous bunch they are!] and did everything but go into my account. I feared I would get my information in there permanently or something.
One funny aside - a very nice co-worker apologized to me for accidently erasing my Thing 6 frog murder story. Neither one of us has a clue as to how it could have happened. Sorry folks, you had your chance but now you will never see my award-nominated-one-very-long-sentence homage to Henry James of a not very mysterious murder.
