Well, I read about some seldom used OS versions (like XP Tablet PC, which probably less than 1% of XP users have). Mostly the operating system descriptions lacked a great deal of information that one might need to consider when choosing an operating system, which I wasn't too fond of. The instructions on how to start a program I found to be a bit extraneous, as many children learn how to open programs almost before they can speak. Granted, some of the terms might be useful for people who are not knowledgeable about computers, especially when troubleshooting. I found most of the software descriptions lacking in detail in many of the areas I wanted to see it. For example, a brief paragraph on video and audio editing software didn't seem to do the topic justice. Well, that's my rant for this one. Oh, and I haven't heard one good thing about grade book software from teachers. That would be something I would like to see improve to make everyone's lives easier.
Oh, again with the skills question, eh? I can't say I learned much of anything, unless I fiddled around with something on my computer again with something I don't remember. The one skill I wish I had was being able to modify laptop cases, as my laptop is a gaming laptop (meaning it puts out a lot of heat) and only has one wimpy fan.
I am enjoying rereading a series that I haven't read in a few years. I ran out of books at my apartment, since I took most of them home to make moving out easier (I had a few boxes). I plan on being some English-related professor, so seeing the fantastic writing style again and also my writing workshop class are helping me towards that end, I believe. Also, I am going to be going to Vegas in the middle of August, my only week of vacation for the summer. It will be nice, but I hate when people spend money on me. And undoubtedly a trip like that is going to cost my mom a pretty penny.
