Glad I'm not the old one. But geez, I'm only 27 & computing has changed since I was more or less into it back in the 1980s & 1990s. These programs for Windows 2000 are shocking, you can't even type a letter in Word or something & it changes it to a little symbol. For example I typed in 1A (space), instantly this A is changed into a tiny A. To undo this I have to go back, type it again & have some other letter after it, then space, then arrow back & delete the second letter, then arrow back to my spot. I have no idea how to change this, but this is highly annoying.
I mean if I wanted something bloody well done to that letter, I'd alter it myself. Sometimes it also gets me when the computer reconizes a word typed incorrectly & changes it to the correct spelling - but what if I wanted a word typed incorrectly?
Anyway there must be a way of changing it to manual - after all I don't want this stupid system guessing everying I want.
Well anyway that's my little Rant!
