And there are three pics of your sweaters included! Pretty awesome. We did a bit of research at knitting group and learned that the C C is 16 years older than our Stanley Cup (hockey).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780249301776290315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2851660232949976872013-01-14T22:21:53.486+00:002013-01-14T22:21:53.486+00:00Sorry -- I just noticed that I didn't capture ...Sorry -- I just noticed that I didn't capture the whole title of the sample Missing Manual in my link (above).

So I wanted to make sure you didn't miss the excellent "Missing Manual" series by Pogue Press: well-designed, funny, and thorough. I just checked to see if there's a Surface one out, but it looks like it's too early (my guess is that there's a frantic team of writers pulling all-nighters right now). Here, however, is the link to the Amazon.co.uk's Office 2011 for <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Office-2011-Macintosh-Missing-Manuals/dp/1449393357/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1358201604&sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">Macintosh: The Missing Manual</a>. And I wouldn't give up on the old dog learning the trick of Internet research just yet. He may just need the right research topic to light his fire -- as knitting was, I suspect, for many of us in the bad old 1990s.Metropolitan Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612362220319467089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49698576698895354732013-01-14T20:55:24.557+00:002013-01-14T20:55:24.557+00:00I thought my father would never master surfing or ...I thought my father would never master surfing or any other i-pad related activity either but...my nephew did an excellent hard copy explanation of how to do certain things. It was "step by step" and now he copes with surfing for things he is interested in. I cannot get him to use e-mail "because they might not get it" and, I think, because he is a Columbus-method (discover and land) typist. Your husband is a little younger and much more experienced so I am sure he will manage!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-74052254877006707472013-01-14T17:40:56.554+00:002013-01-14T17:40:56.554+00:00I would like to see it too.
