Festive greetings to all my readers. If you are still stuffed full of turkey then this is the time to sit down and relax with your new technology and find out just what it can (and can’t) do.

Like all new stuff, there are things you think it should do but which it was never designed to do. So if you’ve just got a new desktop computer, don’t be surprised when you find it difficult to carry it around! Conversely and not surprisingly, your new tablet doesn’t have a hardware keyboard so now is the time to make the most of what you have and just see where your new toy’s limits are.

Try not to get too frustrated - just chill out and learn how to make the best of it - it is time for relaxation after all!

There are several Youtube videos you can search for quick training on particular subjects, like “what are the keyboard shortcuts” or “how do I change the colour of the text” and the individual manufacturer always provides training videos on their own site.

If you really get stuck, then call MACUK Computers on 07714 016830 for over-the-telephone help.

Remember, finding out yourself really does make it easier to learn!

‘Til the next time - have fun!
