WHEN TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH

Morning all yes there is a time when too much is not enough.
I have tried everything to help me with this computer thing ,Ive bought the "Idiots" guide, downloaded all the freebies,poured over whatever notes I have been able to take but its no use.
Theres just a block there oh in theory I know most of it but put me in front of the screen and it all becomes gobbledegook"
Its kinda similar to when I was learning to drive in theory i could have driven a forty footer i poured over the manuals learned the mechanics of every part of the car,knew the rules of the road back to front but I couldnt do that most important thing to get me mobile like turn the frickin ignition key!
Now I dont know if anyone is actually reading this but if you are and can help in any way HELP,
I envy the young peoples approach to this whole techno thing and IM not ashamed to admit that this old fogie is beat.
feel free to e mail me or reply to this blog ,or simply just say hi in class .
No offer of help will be refused the time for pride and ego is long past !
I dont know if this passes Colin's criteria for touching on the personal but to be honest I dont much care I dont want my inability to get on top of this to affect the class results as a whole cos at the moment I feel like a liability .
Thats enough of the "Pity Parlour " for this day, too much may be not enough in my case but maybe just maybe a little bit will prove to be just the job!
