Kathy’s Points to Remember: High Tech Version

Kathy Minicozzi

Do not let your cell phone fall into the toilet. It can’t swim, and it will drown and die, taking all of those messages and pictures with it.

Always blame the computer when it becomes infected with several viruses, acts weird and crashes. Unlike you, the true culprit, your computer is an inanimate object and you can never humiliate it or hurt its feelings by calling it a bleeping moron.

Do not install Direct TV unless you can keep it secret. Your neighbors who don’t have it will all want to come over and watch TV at your place. You will find yourself hosting an impromptu party. There will be potato chips all over your floor and unsightly rings and scratches on your furniture. Your guests will fight over what to watch, and end up in a big brawl. You will be raided by the cops and everybody will be thrown into the same jail cell until you all cool off or kill each other. You will be the laughingstock of the neighborhood for the next twenty years. So please be careful about installing anything more advanced than basic cable.

There are many, many free Kindle e-books. Unfortunately, none of them will be the ones you want.

Would you want to insult this?

  1. Here’s another tech tip: Be careful how you pick up you smart phone in the morning– you might accidentally go into BOOT mode and have to upgrade your operating system from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich! This actually happened to me a few weeks ago.

    1. I knew there was a good reason I didn’t buy a smartphone. Sensitive equipment + one klutzy human (me) = disaster waiting to happen.

  2. I always blame my computer when I send an email and accidentally hit reply all.

    1. Cats are also easy to blame for computer mishaps, as in “It wasn’t my fault. The cat was standing on the keyboard.”

  4. That is so true with Kindle books I have read some really bad stuff, just because it was fred butit does make me think. If other people read free stuff, maybe it’s time to release my, as of yet finished ‘333,232’ reasons to hate Bon Jovi’ as a free Kindle book.

    2. Bill, I would download it for no other reason than to “reply all” to Bon Jovi’s mailing list. 😉
