Frustration Is Doing Me In!

Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2026 by Paul

After spending almost 40 years on computers as a hobby, I am about to give up!  This morning I spent six hours attempting to download 40 images from messages after last night’s party.  The computer said “saved,” butI’ll be damned … Continue reading →
