Ann,
It just keeps getting better so don't give up. I got my Mac Mini computer
almost 18 months ago. It took me a year to get anywhere close to feeling
comfortable using a mac and I still have a ton of things to learn. I had a
built in tutor. My wife has the mac air and she helped with a lot of little
things to kept me from getting too discouraged. It does improve so don't
give up yet. I'm 64 years old and started my computer days using DOS. I
was the last person on the planet to switch to windows, haha. I also have
some health problems so trying to learn a new system is, at times, quite
stressful. I got the iPhone back in the I4 days and my wife helped me a lot
when I first got that, too. Now I have the I7 and the Mac Mini and I'm
really enjoying them.
Phil.

I'm about in the same boat. Where do you interact at? There's groups,
tables, sales, good grief! Sometimes I wonder, am I really ever going to
love this computer?
I took a class back in the summer, and of course I failed it. The teacher
yelled at me in front of the whole class. The class, such that it was was
over one of the conference lines.
Of course I got the riot act read to me, what else is new? I Telya, this is
been the most miserable six months I've ever been through. I have
fibromyalgia and other medical problems to deal with, I guess this MacBook
is going to be another medical problem as well.
Please please please, don't get me wrong I don't regret buying this machine.
It's just, I learned the iPhone so amazingly fast. As a matter fact, just
four short months after I bought it, I started doing my own iPhone classes
on these blind chat lines.
When I'm in to mentor and programs. One for a five-year-old organization and
Texas, and the other for the Independent living Center here in St. Louis.
I don't know anymore.😢

Sent from my iPhone hello, someone recommended that I join this list. I've had a MacBook Air 11.6 inch for almost 6 months.
I come from strictly a capital I capital oh capital S background, I have never used any other computers from the century anyway ha ha. So, this is a whole new ballgame for me.
I am completely blind now from retinitis pigmentosa. I am a very strong proponent for Apple products, and what they can do for people with various disabilities.
I started out with an iPhone four – S, and now I have an I phone six. I also have an AppleTV fourth-generation.
I am struggling quite a lot with learning my new MacBook. I knew it was going to be a learning curve, but I had no idea it was going to be like this.
Thank you so much for starting this list. I love tutoring the new and struggling users of capital I capital oh capital S products, and when I get my Macintosh skills more up to par I would like to do the same for the new MacBook owners as well.>Click on the link below to go to our homepage.
