Etrex I do not understand how to work this darn thing can someone tell me the easyest way to learn it? the book its the answer.

books that are simple talk .....work best

and get the person to write down their own notes
not ok i got it or i will remember that

helps them learn at their pace ..and can practice to their level of understanding


PC for dummies
any online ..free learn to type program
any software for dummies also available

In plain English the answer is YES

All workshop manuals are printed on the premise that you are a tradesman and know what the terminology means before you start
Next point --it is extremely unlikely that you will get a workshop manual and spare parts manual in the one publication
You will be unlikely to get a good manual free so you may have to visit auto books shops (autodata) that have individual manuals for each part of the car (book for engines--book for transmissions -book for electrics etc)
To be able to use deductive reasoning you will have to know the principle of how something works
It is good that you wish to learn so the best advice is to find a good workshop that will allow you to watch-help and will answer questions for you
Join a car club (any club as the principles of operations are the same regardless of the make) as most members are willing to share knowledge

Hmm.. this is going to be a process that can take some time.

At one point, everyone was a novice, so we can all appreciate where you're at. Your first step is going to be reading. Lots of reading. One of the first things you'll need to learn is the mechanics of your notebook / laptop PC. You can view the manual for it, here. All of this reading is going to generate questions. Lots of questions. The best places for answers will be in forums or sites that are dedicated to people that have a common bond - in your case, Lenovo notebooks. A forum for Lenovo PCs can be found here. There are other sites dealing with Lenovo PCs, too. A list of those can be found here. Due to the large number of people on these sites, you will be able to get the fastest and probably some of the most reliable feedback and answers on those types of sites.

Once you begin to understand the PC, the next hurdle will be learning the OS or "Operating System". Most likely, you've got some version of Windows on installed, but you may have a flavor of Linux or something else completely on it instead. You should google the OS and help, tips or manual for examples. Then, look for OS forums in google like this. Here again, asking questions in forums where the users all share a common bond (your particular OS in this case) will give your question the greatest exposure for a speedy reply.

You will find an incredible number of books written to help people understand their OS in libraries, online and book stores. You will find books on common, mainstream PCs too - and your IBM T61 is probably not an exception unless it is an older PC (I haven't followed the Thinkpad line), but online will be your best bet for anything that is no longer current.

This answer is pretty short for the amount of work that lies ahead of you - but if you stick with it - you'll learn a great deal and might even have some fun while you're at it. Good luck! Please rate my reply - thanks.

Let me see if I understand this correctly - You want me to pay you to answer the question but you want me to tell you how I fixed it for free so that you can charge someone else for the answer ... ?????

I really don't have the answer for you, but I can tell you I have the book Pooh gets stuck and mine is doing the same thing. I thought it was the cartriage and replaced it. Oddly the one I replaced it with skipps the same words. My book looks new so I wouldn't think it's the book, but I bought them used in the first place so I guess it may be the book. My leappad is playing everything else fine except The day Leap Ate Olives it is doing the same thing. They sell replacement books and cartriages on ebay for about $5-8 each so maybe that will help. If you get one that doesn't work contact the seller at least they will usually refund your money or send another one. Hope this helps some anyway: )

Macros are harder to understand than they are to create and use. Let me repeat "Macros are harder to understand than they are to create and use."
Here is the only understanding that you need. "they are used for repetive tasks" .

Now to the simple part of creating then using.
Get into your work and identify a task that you want to created macro for, Kapish? Just before you start on the task go into the macros screen and tell it to "create", then do your task. When through "push the stop button. Name the micro and save it. (the name may be the first step if so then give the darn thing a name, no big deal). The next time you are in the exact field where the identical task is going to be perforned you can call up the micro to run through the key strokes for you. Get ready for wildly unexpected results, with those understood you can go into the code and modify it. Or you can delete it and create anotherone that is cleaner. Keep doing this until you get the bugs out. By the way the once created micros leave a tag in the spreadsheet that alerts everyone that opens it to watch out for the dreaded micro you created.
