Done! My left thumb aches and my thumbnail is black. Oh no, the message does not look right on the tablet. The sentences do not line up and the whole message would look better if I turned the tablet 90 degrees. And I must make five more copies of this message. Back to square one and a lot of stone chipping. I will have to sharpen the chisel and carve out a bunch of tablets. I have a bunch of work ahead of me.
With Office applications, I can quickly change this with a few
mouse clicks and the message will look the way I want it. I can change from
portrait to landscape, line up the margins, and in the print menu, make
multiple copies. From carving out stone tablets, scraping parchment, to having
scribes copying messages and even using photocopiers, the digital age is a real
time saver and physically safer.
As I progress in the technological journey, my stone carving skills can focus on artistic endeavors, and I can save my thumbs from errant hammer blows!
Hello Don, I love how you keep the same theme for your blog posts it makes the blog posts fun and more engaging. Also, great story for describing printing files it was a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHi Don, your way explaining the Microsoft with the older schooldays was more interesting. I could see your progress on your technological journey. All the best.
ReplyDeleteWhile I never indulged in art of stone carving, your blog was enjoying to read and I still appreciate that I can use ctrl + p instead of breaking my thumbs.
ReplyDeleteHi Don, say goodbye to those stone carving days 😁 Printing files is just a click away now, and you can print as many as many copies you need without hurting your thumb.
