Mom: Belinda, how was architecture class today?
Belinda (18): I accidentally deleted my entire house. I was almost done with it.
Mom: You what?

Belinda: It wasn't my fault. It was the computer. You just push one button and “poof!”

Poor girl. That’s SOOO frustrating!!!
The computers I know like to eat family history stuff, which is really, really frustrating. Things disappear, or odd things happen, like a single alphabet letter that suddenly will not capitalize, no matter what I do. Printers that have always worked well suddenly go on the fritz and print bizarre things. They never do it at other times. I taught a family history class for several years, and other people told me they had the same types of problems when they were doing family history work. Satan must be very computer-literate; I see no other explanation for it. Maybe I am naive.
Ouch! Poor Belinda!

She sounded like my mother-in-law when she was first learning to use computers. “I had this file and I saved it…and it disappeared!!!”
That happened to me in college. I spent half my Christmas break recreating the work for my computer programming class. It was so frustrating.
I just reread the original post and wanted to clarify something. It sounds like I was harsh with her, but just so you know, she was laughing when she told me about it and I was laughing, too. The teacher gave her credit for what she had done and just let her do the remaining assignments with a house he had created with the software.
