| 6ixStringJack: Oh... right. Your book is probably a Word Document. That likely won't open another tab in your browser and clicking on it will either just automatically force you to save it somewhere, or it may just open up MS Word as if you double clicked on your book on your computer. From there you can "Save As" and tell it to save anywhere too. |
6ixStringJack: Normally I wouldn't suggest to people to save on the Desktop (for performance reasons), but you're not saving a ton on there and it won't be an issue for you. If you get more familiar with file systems down the road, you can find a better spot for it than that. We're just practicing right now.  |
| 6ixStringJack: In the "Save As" box that pops up, you can make a new folder right there on your Desktop that says something like "Brenda's Stuff" and save a copy of the book right into there. Or, you could just right click anywhere on the desktop first, and one of your options will be "New", which you can hover over for another popup box and then pick "Folder". Then you can rename that folder "Brenda's Stuff". So when you go to save your book from the email, the folder is already there for you and you just have to go to it in the "Save As" box and select that folder and it will save a copy of your book there. |
| 6ixStringJack: Take some time today to play around with that email you sent yourself. Now that the book (and pictures) are sent to yourself, you can't hurt that copy unless you delete the email and empty out the trash in your email, so it's safe to play around with. You can click on them and see what happens. My guess is that it will open the book in a separate tab if you left click, and you'll get a popup box with options if you right click. If it opens in a new browser tab, you can go to the top where it says "File" and one of the options will be "Save As", and you can tell it where you want to save your copy of the book. With the right click method, you should have a small popup box right by your mouse pointer icon that has the Save As box too. |
| Brenda: I've double clicked but that is usually because right at that moment my hand decided to shake. And of course finger double clicks. |
| Brenda: No, I haven't tried that. I see what you mean about checking what I did send. Thought about that yesterday but didn't do it. |
| 6ixStringJack: Man.. I've got to get a new mouse that doesn't double click on me half the time. |
| 6ixStringJack: Have you tried to download the book and the pictures that you sent to yourself? You can download them into a different spot on your PC and that will be another copy, but since it's on the same drive that won't help if your pc fails on you. But it will let us know that you sent it correctly to yourself and that the copy is good. |

| Brenda: I did notice that after I posted it. I went to see if it worked but there was nothing. |
| Brenda: Yeah, when I work up the courage to use the memory stick. I will be including the pictures as well as my book. |
| Brenda: Yes, I did. Like I said I put the book and the title into the subject line, along with the word picture. Just so I wouldn't wonder what else was there. |
| 6ixStringJack: Gas prices down to $2.35 by me right now. More or less where they were the entire Trump 1.0 admin before they shot up for 4 straight years. That's great. Now work on the natural gas and electricity since I'm not driving much at all and my power bill last month was insane. Thanks Donnie! |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah... I figured as much when I saw that Sigs started the "I think we broke the database" thread and it was empty like everything else. You don't even have an option to reply to the new threads or the old threads either. Looks like Anon was trying to send info about a new Browncoats event that is empty too. |
| 6ixStringJack: With those pictures you can run a little test now too, as this is another way to save to your thumbdrive. When you pull that email up, you can click on your pictures you sent to yourself, and when you download them, with your thumbdrive in the USB port, you can save them directly to the USB stick instead of a folder on your hard drive. It's essentially the same thing, but now you'd just be copying it from a different source. |
| 6ixStringJack: Nice Brenda. You sent your book to yourself too? |
| Brenda: Weird. You can put up a new thread but nothing else. I just ran a test. Title is there but nothing else. |
| Brenda: Email to me sent SIX. Used title in subject line and got pictures I wanted to save. |
| 6ixStringJack: Did you enjoy your little Hollywood faggot millionaire Trump-Bashing blowjob show last night? |
| 6ixStringJack: 1,419 days of whining out of you about Ukraine and not a peep out of you about what's happening in Iran, huh Second? Where's your empathy dude? How come none of you want to talk about that? |
