I went to FCMI on Wednesday. Roger and a volunteer named John were busy swapping the broken wheel assembly from a nice leather office chair with another from a used chair. They had to put a lot of effort into screwing the working wheel assembly onto the bottom of the chair. In the end they had a functioning chair. Roger also found the hardware for a sliding keyboard tray to attach under the computer table. He attached and then removed it from the table because it hung too low. Roger is SO good at finding useful things various places around town!
Later on Roger was on his computer watching some video from India with WinAmp. I enjoyed listening to Roger describe how he asked Sherry's son, John, if there was some way that he could listen to music on the computer while reading the news. John said yes. Roger said John went to this spot and that spot online, clicking here and there and then all of a sudden he had WinAmp downloaded! Roger illustrated by wiggling his fingers like he was typing and moving his hand around like he was using a mouse. Roger is relatively new at using the internet. I am sure he's quite pleased with being able to listen to his favorite music from the 60s and 70s while online! I often take things like online radio and my computer for granted. It was a good reminder about the little things being important!
