lots and LOTS of tech work



FRIDAY 1/4/19 7AM- as far as I know, the tablet comes with Amazon’s browser…  just about the only browser I’ve ever used was Google… It turns out Bing is also a browser and not just the place I go to write in my diaries...I used Bing to find the lyrics to Hey Jude and then I copied and pasted that into my Google docs,  making whatever corrections I felt were necessary… which mostly involved  changing the pronouns from “him” to “her”...I am hoping that Amazon’s browser (Silk) will work just as well for me as Bing did... I will be optimistic…
       10:35AM--a very late breakfast this morning...I spent a fair amount of time awake last night when I didn't wanna be, thinking about the tablet...for instance, there are several dozen coloring apps to choose from, yikes...there are also a few choices of browsers for a tablet besides Amazon Silk...I DO think I'll be able to load lyrics into the tablet somehow, which is all I wanted it for in the first place...
12:43PM--there doesn't seem to be an agreement among people as to which tablet is the best, which browser is best, which app for [fill in the blank] is best...if the Amazon apps get the job done, that's likely all that matters...the HD 8 apparently can do a LOT more than I might need it to...the one thing I might wanna do--make and take phone calls--it might not do...but I have a phone, right?
    I just saw Google listed as a choice of replacement for the default browser...I have my doubts...
2PM approximately, the tablet arrived...I thought I would get some sleep while waiting for it to fully charge
4:30PM--of course I didn't really get a nap...
5:22PM--I'm listening to Crosby on Spotify--on the tablet! I had asked Alexa to give me some, but (I think) it came from Amazon Music...so I asked Alexa to open Spotify--and she did... and I've sent a document from Google pages (the laptop) into the tablet..
10:31PM--it took time to find an app that worked, but I found one and composed a brief document on the tablet, then printed it...I'm cautiously happy right now...I do wanna go to Best Buy and get a screen protector to keep finger grease off of the actual screen...
