K.I.S.S.#9

The other morning while my friend and I were discussing computers over coffee at Starbucks,  . he leaned over and said to me "Remember Laurie , always kiss". “OH” says I "I like that. I can do that! Further more I can always use one"  He said “No I mean K.I.S.S---which translates into “keep it simple, stupid” Remember it, repeat it over and over as a mantra, use it in everything you do in your life, but above all use it when using your computer”. Funnily enough I understood just what he meant, for hadn’t I for months puzzled over that mysterious term “P.C.”? Knowledgeable people i.e. my computer technician on the phone trying to help me, or my annoying savvy friends would ask me where my pc was or what “make my pc was” and I would frantically search  around my computer or thumb through my manual looking for –I don’t know what! Of course I never admitted to not knowing--one never admits ignorance! I would nod and make a mumbled reply. Quite by accident I found out this mysterious term meant “personal computer”. What a revelation that was! Nay-almost an epiphany! So simple! It wasn’t an obscure mechanical device with yards of complex wires connected to my rats- nest wiring mess on the floor, .it wasn’t something magical , and P.C.. didn’t stand for “picoraturational  postefficaratour” It was simply my” personal computer.” From that moment on I relaxed. Computers are basically simple. Not only are they simple they are dumb with no imagination. They were devised to do exactly what we ask it to- no more no less. They are never asked to think! Since that revelation I’ve never looked back. All I have to do is remember to always k.i.s.s. and my computer and I will hum along happily ever after. So dear readers, your Aunty Blogger  advices you to remember to always K.I.S.S a lot and you, your computer and your life will hum along smoothly ever after too!  And so “Goodnight”  xoxo
