Computers, Computers, Computers...

Hey there!

Thanks for checking out my blog. I would have to say that my computer experience is about average. I know enough to navigate my way around the computer and the Internet, but there is still much that I could learn. My current computer is a Dell Laptop which I received as a graduation present. It is a pretty neat little thing and very dependable.

I think that what I will learn from this class is going to be very helpful throughout the remainder of my academic career as well as in my life outside of academics. Putting together an awesome PowerPoint presentation is one of the many skills in life which may come in handy one day. As for me, I would like to learn more about how to use Microsoft Office 2007. Microsoft Excel has long haunted me as a scary and intimidating program, but I know that after this semester I will most likely conquer the monster.

I am so proud of myself in that I mapped all the network drives on my computer in the residence hall all by myself. I noticed that my computer runs a little more slowly when engaging with the other network drives, but it must be due to the enormous amount of information stored in those network drives.

Well, looks like this blog is done. Stay tuned!

Danielle

Hi Danielle!

Your comments about Microsoft Excel make me smile because I know exactly what you mean!! I have some problems navigating the new terrain of Office 2007, especially Excel. I usually try to steer clear of it.
Well, good luck in conquering the Excel Monster this semester!!
