learning never stops




    SATURDAY 1/5/19 9:15AM--still learning what tablet can do and how to do it...I DON'T think the tablet has a word processor that I like on it--yet...
  11:13AM- well, Best Buy says they can’t put Google on an Amazon tablet… But they do have a longer cable for charging... I guess if I’m going to use Amazon's better office word processor it’s going to cost me $15-I assume that’s a one time charge; it might be worth it…
12:25PM--probably NOT gonna get a word processor app for the HD8...I have a laptop AND an iPhone, as far as I can tell they work just fine...I bought the tablet to take the place of a notebook full of songs...
3:50PM- and I don’t think I’m going to be using it for that after all-I can’t find a lyric/chord site that works...I’m going to watch a tutorial on YouTube for an app called Songbook … I will buy the app ONE more time and install it and then if it doesn’t work I’ve lost 15 bucks...but it could be worse, right ? I AM starting to wonder if I made a mistake in buying the tablet in the first place...
 sitting in front of the theater in Montgomery Mall waiting for Dianne so we can go watch A Star is Born... not quite having as much fun today as I thought I would have…
9:19PM--not at all sure how but I have the lyrics to THREE (so far) songs that I got from Google (?) somehow...
9:46PM--I made a label of the directions explaining how to get lyrics (permanently?) onto my tablet...my concern is that at some point, I might have to delete some of "My Favorites" to make room for more Favorites...
10:22PM--and unfortunately, I have to have a wi-fi connection to see them...BUT, I think I've finally installed a (free?) word processing app...I can read any of MY DOCUMENTS and magnify the view...for now, I think I'll keep the tablet...except that (again) I think I have to have a wi-fi connection before I can cut and paste 'em to a blank piece of paper...but I don't need that connection to read the lyrics at a gig, once the document has been created...at least I don't THINK I do...I guess what I can do is build the lyric library at home then take the tablet to the gig...that is, go online to GET the lyrics then go to My Docs (offline) AT the gig...
11:40PM--and, amazingly enough, I was able to PRINT a (test) document using the tablet--dunno if I need a wi-fi connection for THAT, but I suspect I do...AND I found what I suppose I might call an owner's manual on the tablet itself...
