Challenge 21

Well, I like the keyboard shortcuts, I always try to remember what I'm suppose to hit for this or that so now I have a printed list and am gonna try to remember some of my favorites to use. I think it will be a lot quicker once I get use to it. As for connecting to a wireless network, I haven't run into any problems in the past once you get the hang of it. But at first it was a bit confusing.

Challenge 20

I have Mozilla Firefox now and I don't seem to have a problem with it, I'm not real sure why but the others make me a bit nervious.(Hmmm...maybe I'm just a chicken. Old dog, new tricks kinda thing.) But I am gonna try out the OpenOffice.org . That could be interesting. The OSSwin project just looks like a jumble of mess, but if you start clicking, you see the different things available.

Challenge 19

I made a Netvibes account, still not quite finished but it seems pretty awesome if I can get it all done. I like the idea of going to one page and having everything there. I like it!

Challenge 18

Web 2.0 is a cool site to go to if you just want to see which one to use, but I don't know that it is something that I will recommend to patrons. I could see people who spend their life on the computer using this site a lot, but not just your average person.

Challenge 17

I downloaded some music just to experiment. I downloaded Meditation: Classics for Relaxing and Dreaming. It really wasn't tough to do. Just follow the instructions and it walks you right through it. Think I'll go and see if I can find something that I might actually listen to.

Challenge 16

I have actually played a little with Photoshop before with Sam, and I think it is just amazing. I just did the test drive and just played with the photos. It's pretty awesome. Sooooooo, when I get this cool digital camera from Emily, I may just have to join the freebe just to have fun with it. For free, I don't see where we could ask for more.

Challenge 15

I actually have Mozilla Firefox already on my computer, and on Sarah's laptop, we have Safari for Sam's Ipod and quite honestly, they all work fine for me. But I can see where Flock would be a great asset to people who use twitter and facebook. Looks like that could save lots of time from not having to go to each of those sites to check and see if Joe____the ragman has responded yet.
