For the technology challenged leather workers

[TwinOaks]

While I am far from being a techno-wizard, I do have a bit of a nack with these computers. I've noticed on more than one occasion that our best artists often note that they are not proficient with computers, or even typing. For those who self define themselves into this category, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:

1. Unlike stamping leather, if you mess up something, or mispell something, you don't have to start over. Just backspace until the error is gone then start stamping...errrr...typing again.

2. When typing, quit hunting and pecking. Use a stamping tool to press the keys- pear shaders work well, as do the smaller backgrounders. Your hands have become accustomed to holding them, and prying your fingers apart and trying to teach them a new position is like trying to wet mold saddle skirting into a crisp 90 degree corner. Just use the tools. NOTE: DO NOT USE YOUR MALLET OR MAUL FOR THIS.

3. Do NOT case your computer. This is very bad for them, and will yield unsatisfactory results.

4. Do NOT apply sealers, deglazers, dyes, or finishes to your computer. See above.

5. If you do case your computer, by accident, don't try to stretch it from the back to fix the problem.

6. Yelling at it doesn't help.

7. Hitting it doesn't help, and may serve to only make it more beligerant.

8. DVDs and CDs are data storage devices, not concho blanks.

9.

Hope this helps, and y'all have a nice afternoon.

Thanks for the tips, but I'm gonna miss that fresh neatlac smell every time I log on.
