I can't really remember how many years ago I finally broke down and got my first cell phone but trust me when I say it's been awhile. I'm sure it was when my daughter was a pre-teen and told me "everyone who is anyone has one mom" and I wasn't about to let her have one unless I had one too. So I caved in and bought both of us matching cell phones. She immediately knew all the features, downloaded a fun ringtone and stored all of her best friends' phone numbers before we even made it home from the mall. I, on the other hand, needed her help just to dial my first call out.
4 different phones later and I still was only using my cell phone to make calls...until this month. Obviously I've learned how to text and I've done it 4, maybe 5 times. Today I wanted to try a few more features just so I could feel like I'm getting my monies worth. I got my users manual out and tried to make heads or tails out of it. All of the navigation buttons had me going back to the same place over and over without getting to what I wanted. I finally had to call Tom over to help me read the extremely fine print on the "quick assist guide". Quick it wasn't and I didn't think it was doing a good job of assisting me either. All I wanted to try was to take a picture and store it. Sounds simple enough, but it took F O R E V E V E R ! After a lot of trial and error, we finally got it to work and I now get to see a picture of our dog Margot whenever he calls me...so sweet!

Ok Karen you have been behind the times a little. It's so nice to get a phone call from someone who I have a picture for, then I know right away who is calling without trying to read the number without my glasses. You need to store more pictures and it will be very helpful for your aging eyes, I know it is for me.
