Mr Gizmo Strikes Again!

This morning, at about 5.45 am, I watched in dismay as the Sleeping Son rolled over, sat up and said "Ga" (He's actually saying Good morning mother! Top of the morning to you!). Then he saw me typing furiously away at my laptop, climbed off the bed and of course headed straight for the keyboard, fat little hands stretched out and a big smile on his face.

I saved the word document, opened a new blank document for him and let him fiddle with the keyboard for a few minutes. Dude managed to type out some rubbish, save the document ("_NBsfdsf"), merge a powerpoint slide into the document and (miracle!) turn off the autonumbering option. Like, forever. Not just for that one document. He turned it off even for my own draft document which had autonumbering macros up the wazoo and an autoformat that had been driving me insane for hours.

Now I know how to deal with Word for Windows. If nothing else works, I'll just slam on the keyboard with both hands and shout "Ka! Ka! Ka!".

Am pleased to report that the aircon remote control saga is OVER. After many sweaty minutes spent fiddling with the remote control, I finally figured out how to change it back from Fahrenheit to Celcius. I could be an enginner! A rocket surgeon!
