What can take a perfectly sane person and drive them crazy? Having to rely on a your flesh and blood in the form of a teenager to set up a myspace page. This is the latest thing the gang on TV.com has decided to do to to reach outside of the bubble and draw new viewers in. Now, my daughter could live on the pc but she's been working on computers since preschool. When I was in college everything was prompted by DOS. (If you know what that is you're dating yourself) and Windows has just advented. Windows 3.1 was the first Windows system I ever used. This Tom who invented myspace was still a gleam in his daddy's eyes. Well, I worked two jobs so I "outsourced" my pc work since I could pay for it. I thought DOS was great at the time, not that I remember a thing about it today, now operating in Windows Vista 9.0 - a far cry from either Windows 3.1 or DOS. I even took a detour into iApple. Liked the pc, it didn't like me.

So now I am trying to set up this new myspace page to network with other Moonlighters out there and to learn that at 47 this old dog can still be taught new tricks. It's frustrating! tubpat has music playing the minute you log into her page, not me. I can't figure it out. The songs I want aren't there. Most of all, I haven't figured out how to network with other Moonlighters!

Maybe this dog is too old after all...

It took me quite a while to figure out how to make the music turn on. I can go back and look. I had even called my daughter and asked her and she could not remember. I am usually very intimidated by this stuff anymore. I'm older than you. I used to just jump into anything and everything. Now I feel hesitation or I just don't seem to want to be bothered with new stuff.

So for Moonlight I taught myself what I needed to do on Photobucket and now Myspace. I have a lot of family members who know it well but I had to do it myself or I would be lost. I just started putting in code and taking it out if it didn't work right. That's all kids do, they just jump in!

So if this much older dog can do it, a little pup such as yourself, should have no problem!

OMG windows 3.1 and DOS I vaguely remember 3.1 as a young kid and I can use DOS to some extent. The reason being my dad has fixed and worked with computers as long as I can remember and he taught me a lot about computers I remember the old computer we had that had 3.1, man that OS was slow

Things like Myspace, you just have to muck around with it until you get it to do what you want I had a myspace page once and I did have music playing on it but I couldn't tell you how I did it coz I don't remember

Hang in there Craig! At least you're taking a stab at it - I haven't even tried to dabble in it yet. So my hat's off to you mister - don't sell yourself short.
