I amth in the complex challenge of changing computers and hope to be in contact again in a few weeks. I\u2019m going to get another windows, but I found out from my son, who is a big shot in desktop publishing, that my Wordperfect desktop publishing program has dropped back in the competition. He doesn\u2019t know ANY-body using it. And here I was going along blithely assuming it was in the running! Silly me!<\/p>\n
So anyway I\u2019m getting a new computer after about 5 years, and will be doing much to upgrade it—making it fit my skills and interests. There are several roles I don\u2019t use, and some I use a lot: this blog, website for communication, word-processor and files\u2026 what else?<\/p>\n
I use that question to shine a light on my becoming an ol\u2019 fart—really, just old—over 81—soon—and though I\u2019m competent in some ways, not-so-competent in others.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile my son the computer maven and philosopher called to ask a philo-sophical question and he gave me the opportunity to improvise an answer. It was a question that surpassed elementary philosophy, reaching for epistemology. He started saying episio—but that\u2019s the cut in the perineum to prevent tearing in assisting in childbirth. Epistemology took on new meaning just now, because really you can\u2019t know for sure. You can know so that it satisfies you.<\/p>\n
We had a nice chat! Very nice.<\/p>\n
