Almost competent.
Too old to learn, I don’t think so
Old dogs can learn to do new tricks
Although the process may be slow.
Once they grasp it, it will stick.
I learnt to use my first P/C
When I was over sixty two
I mastered it quite easily
And it completely changed my view.
Of the world and all that’s in it
Now it only takes a minute.
When I have something I want to share
The internet has set me free
To share my thoughts poetically.

Re: Almost Competent.
I think your poem was right on! And I agree that we're never too old to learn. (I'm 75) and still have much to learn about the computer. With me, information doesn't stick that well. It seems to get lost somewhere in a locked drawer in my mind, and it takes me awhile to locate the key! So I rely on notes to fall back on. And I still haven't conquered the technique od adding smile faces to my posts! Even though I think Heinzs has explained it to me once, but foolishly I didn't take notes. I thought it was posted somewhere, but I can't find it! Signing off," Far from competent."

You appear more than competent to me.
