Technology is wonderful?!?  

Yes I know I would not be alive and writing this without technology but there are times I just want to scream or throw something.   Good that I can not do either.  

So Dynavox finally sends my communication device aka computer back after installing a new hard drive.   Fantastic! I am excited to see the new system that lets me compose everything on the main screen.   This is so much better because there are commonly used words that only take one keystroke.   In addition the word anticipation feature will often display the word I want after a few keystrokes.   That really helps my leg.  
Just to be on the safe side I decide to wait until the communication specialist comes out.   Excitedly we put on the zip drive that has all my backed up information.   Bad idea.   Yes it had the data but it also had the operating system.   Once more called Dynavox.   Tech can go right in and restore program but will take about 45 minutes.   That is okay and it is fun to watch the cursor move and screen change.   While that is happening we work on selecting the pieces of information I want to move and sending to email.  However now that computer does not want to send or receive email in dynavox.   It will work with comcast so will do that for now.  

To make a long story short, I have my dynavox back and have been successful in a few areas.   Kari and Garrett were here for a short visit and he was able to get most of the tv controls to work.   Why I did not think about all the other difficulties is beyond me.   I am sure there will be other times.
