I had "Photograph" by Def Leppard running round my head when I clicked on this.

I think I prefer that one to Ringo's :-) But I feel your pain re getting paragraphs into html.

This hits a funny nerve - I've had many a time yelling at my computer "No, quit changing it; it's what I meant to do" when using Word. it wants to do what it wants to do.

Horrible Terrible Markup Language. Wish I'd thought of this title.

Thanks Phil, Timmy and John!

Phil, I'll have to check out the Def Leppard one.

A friend has been trying to send me a photograph by email. All I have to do, she says, is click on "images". Unfortunately, that block never appears in the screen. Right now I am struggling with a computer that doesn't want to print the letter "y".

Leough! Way too long time see not site on. Yoda Circa 1982? The trouble with computers is that they do exactly what you tell them to do and not precisely what you want them to do. As Spaff said. "Everything I need to know I learned from The Beatles". Every thing I know about computers is mostly self taught with a lot of pain, unlike this brilliant write bestowed upon me this day.

Love the "BR" part. The only thing you may have missed is my favorite and that is the "alt keypad" feature. That can get to be tricky to the novice.

Reminds me of an old friend that I revisited a few years back when he returned from overseas. He was having quite a time using Word on his laptop. I saw the problem right off. I plugged a USB keyboard onto his laptop and the problem ceased. He was miffed by this until I explained that he was running his fingers over the mouse pad on the laptop and that is why his cursor or "curser" as it were, ran about his screen like it was possessed by a few escapees from the room full of monkeys. =;-)

Great write. Good stuff here. Loved the read. Takes me back... Right about now I am so MAD at Time Warner that I missed putting something out here today. This is like the twilight zone - DE DE DE DE.

Nuttin' but F I V E S! Me thinks the only numeric that I type today will be "5". All my other numeric keys are "sticky" as in MAC sticky.

I know what you mean. I can barely find my way around a keyboard so I agree with Timmy about shouting at the PC. Great pacing btw.

Maybe you need to get a para-normal keyboard. At least this para-graph-ody wasn't graphic. Fun read.

the word nerd in me was decidedly excited

Thanks, Patrick. My "z" key has the letter worn off the key, probably from overuse of "Ctrl-z."
Thanks, Guy. At least you're not having to call Comcast to cancel your account. My landline went out a couple weeks ago, but amazingly the DSL still worked.

Thanks, Andy. I think we all shout at our PCs a lot.
Thanks, Meridoac [sic? Or was that intentional?]. Great neologism (para-graph-ody)!
Thanks, Alvin. Glad you happened to stop by and notice it! Hope to see more of you!

I am going to start off by nullifying (equalising?) Phil's comment, I much prefer the Starkey version of this title, but then again, it always reminds me of a good time of my life, so that probably helps. And much like Guy, I particularly liked the way the BR part was handled.. HTML now stands for "Hey, there's marvellous Leough" :) Very enjoyable.

Thanks, Peregrin!

I love it, Leough! So relatable for discounted mark-uppers like me!
