This was the site that greeted me when I pulled up to Gail's last week. Not only did she have the Geek Squad over, but she also had two Polar vans parked in her drive way!

Welcome to the 21st Century, indeed.

It took awhile, the Polar guys were working on getting her internet and TV hooked up (she switched phone companies). I believe they were there for about four hours.

While the worked, the Geek Squad tech guy got Gail's laptop and printer up and running.

Gail was a little unfamiliar with some of the terminology. She asked about getting 'sound boxes' (speakers) for her computer. She also referred to her printer as her "picture machine."

However, once all was hooked up and running well, Gail had herself an email account, a Facebook page, and had Word up and running on her computer.

This weekend Gail brought her laptop over to our house and Kristie was able to help her work out some of the kinks when working with her Facebook page (I didn't really know what I was doing when I set her page up since I'm so 20th century and don't have a Facebook page).

Now we just have to get her pictured downloaded from her digital camera to her computer. Gail forgot her camera here. However, I was to bring it to her when I helped her get used to her computer, but I forgot the camera! We thought we had everything we needed on Sunday, but Gail forgot her USB cable for her camera and the one we use for our cameras doesn't fit hers. Figures.

I can only imagine the overload of information Gail is dealing with. I'm still fumbling my way through some features on this blog. And I've been doing this blogging stuff now for three years.

Gail is doing phenomenally well for using her laptop for the first time.

Now we just have get her on Twitter and an iPhone!
