I tale u whut, y’all might be a little surprised how much we all yahoos know about the computers. If ya need any teck tips, heres the place to be. Ever since Joey John went to the city and started makin money, hes been saving up for a family computer.
We finally got our hands on it the other day and wouldn’t you guess, the durn thing needs to be plugged in to run! Theres a lotta things that don’t have to be plugged in that work jes’ fine, like my new apple airpods, but of course, this contraption has plugs out the wazoo! Theres a cord for every little thing! Fer the internet, so we can write on are blog, for the screen, for the keyboard, and evern for the little mouse thing (I have confused it with real mice around the house actually). Theres so much setup I cant even get into it right now at the moment.
But when you get it all set up and all that garbage you have ta go through, there you are. A computer. We can do more with our fone line now than just make calls with it. Oh, and on the topic of the internet over the phone line, please don’t send us any emails with picture attachments because they take a real long time to load up and Brittknee is always tryin to call her friends while we’re on the cmputer.
But we have some tech tips for those of you who are challenged at making these machines work right.
1. If it doesnt work right, turn it off and on again. This here is the most big answer to all problems. Im not totally sure how ‘lectricity works, but it stands to reason that if the power goin through the machine gets stale and old like droopy lettuce or a moldy block of cheese, you need to refresh that. Get a fresh bit of electricity by unplugging and pluggin it in again.
2. How to set your desktop background: wait for your picture emails to download and then use the right mouse ear on a picture to get into a little menu. If it dont show up, wait a bit for the computer to catch up with ya. These things take time sometimes, when ya consider that these are really just glorified typewriters. They are not ment to do any of the complicated extra stuff like look at pictures and play vidya games (what would we have the atari for then?!?). Then just click the option to set it as a desktop picture, and there yougo. Make sure you chose your picture with care, because it turns out using a computer is not a private experience.
3. If yer computer overheats like ours does all the time just go ahead and put it in an ice box or dont be afraid to open that baby up and fill up the inside with ice cubes. Or yer could try putting a fan on it.
4. How to save document: when you’re using an article writer like this confounded microsoft word, you need to save sometimes to make sure you dont lose all your work. The easiest way to do that is click the thing up at the top of the window and click save, but if this don’t work, you can just try restartin the whole system to get a little bit more fresh power.
Yours truly, Tiberius
