Learning (active voice) Computer (a subject area)

.
The dot just gives me a little space - leastwise as it shows on my screen.

Sat.Nite.Blues cbc in back, at wood counter at 277.

Tomorrow I head out for a week golfing in Myrtle Beach with Jay Paul Tony Dave & JimMac.
And I got a lot of packing and other stuff to do before departure.

But still I make this feeble effort at a few words about
Computer and the struggle to learn it and keepup.

Geez it takes some effort and patience.
Plenty of both.

The most recent challenge
getting music for my iphone (which spelling was rejected by this apple spell checker.
And more specifically, without using iTunes service/software/maniacal patience challenger.

After a few hours browsing the Web, as we used to say,
I'm thinkin' you juz can't get there from here.
Leastwise not sensibly.
Got t'hand it to the genius Steve Jobs
he wasn't letting go once he had you in his grip.

But what's harder to understand
is the seeming lack of a easily retrievable common sense explanation
of the straight goods
on how Apple ties you up when it comes to listening to music,
and what the sensible workarounds are.

And then I thinks to myself,
I got better things to do.

And probably the same for you.
