Printers 2

Well, it's here waiting to be installed! I have to disinstall the previous printer before installing this one, so am feeling nervous about it. What if I cant get it to work and then need to print something urgently? Just thinking about it puts me off working so I have found lots of other more important things to do this weekend, like entertaining friends, walking the dog several times, writing lists of work to complete this week etc! I keep telling myself that it's only a machine, but even that isnt' helping.
No doubt it will be fine. I must get it up and running by Wednesday as the seller is coming to the office to test the phone line, 3G reception and probably my scanner. I WILL do this. It's not going to beat me.
Do any of my readers have the same problem? I sometimes feel as if I am the only person on the planet that doesnt like new machines, which I know are designed to actually make my life easier.
I still remember seeing teachers turn the 'bander' handle at school, and the smell of ink as it dried on our copies: Surely the new printers are better than that, although I bet the teacher's of those days ha more muscles in their arms than those of today.
Perhaps I should start a club for technophobics like me, although I guess that many of them havn't actually moved on to the internet yet.
Ok, my partner's here now so I'm going to enlist his help. As a mechanic, I guess that between the two of us, we should be able to get this sorted.
See you tomorrow, with clean hands hopefully!
