Tonight's blog is being done on the new computer! I know that it's only been a few days since I picked up this new gadget and it's still a bit of a struggle to figure just how things work. There's the OS and Desktop commands plus the changed commands on every application--and the Touchpad--the lovely Touchpad! But slowly but slowly I'm figuring things out.

Part of the delay is also the closing down of my old system--backing up files and such. What to keep and what to throw away--and what not to throw away by accident!

I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer files (and provide a backup for now). Will have to check out the iCloud when I can do so Until then, the files are on my old system, my new system, and on the thumb drive.

I'm having to do things in pieces. I have to take a nap in the afternoon--doesn't seem a way around this activity. After eating a midday meal, I have to sleep! So says the system--so goes the days (daze).

And now it's also getting close to time to drop and sleep (I just tried out the zoom gesture. It zooms in on the screen, enlarging the text. Then another gesture and everything snaps back into place. Despite my initial gripes about the Touchpad interface, I'm beginning too see how elegant it is! It has a great feel and sense of control--once I understood how to bend my knobby fingers into the various pretzel-shaped patterns.
