Google Chrome

Ok, we have been trying out Google Chrome as our browser (previously still on Internet Explorer) and I have to admit, pages are loading a LOT faster--and we have DSL.  Recently IE had been buggy for us, randomly not able to load pages, even (especially?) when I was already looking at other pages from the same sites. . . .

But two things are bugging me about Chrome. One, I forget until it happens, but I don't like technical changes.  I am no neo-Luddite, but am definitely not technically savvy.  I still don't know how to download MP3s or use an "i"anything.  We still have a working cassette player (ok, ok, boom box), and use it.  We have an old 16 inch TV, not that we actually watch TV.  When we spend money, we typically want the best, but ironically, we have no problem holding onto really old stuff as long as it is still functional.  I especially hate having to learn new computer applications, when the perfectly good but no longer current ways of doing things are not even available when you upgrade.  So now, to go log into Chrome and have to look for where my favorites are stored, and figure out which box is the correct search engine, etc.  is just annoying.  I hate learning how to do something over again when the old way was just fine, thank you.  Except for those never-loaded pages. . . .

The other thing that is bugging me about it is when I view my blog, the font looks different!  Yuk!  I am such a visual person that things like font really affect how I respond to information, and looking at the typeface here as I am posting makes me feel like I am writing in someone else's blog.

Boy, was this a nothing post!  Well, that just goes to show you the condition of my brain these days.  See, you won't really miss me.  ; )
