tech trauma

 I've been battling with technology again, not intentionally.  I was forced into it.  I received an email from Presbytery yesterday telling me that they needed my signature on a form we (a committee, of course) had sent.  I followed all the steps that came with my email and kept getting a message that there was nothing for me to sign.  This didn't surprise me since I knew I had signed the form before we sent it.  I emailed back and explained my problem and reminded them that I had already signed the form in real life.  They explained that they needed my signature again.  I tried again and again, reread all the instructions, then quit and went to bed.  Today I tried again, same results.  But, as I was looking over every word on the screen, I discovered way down at the bottom in tiny print, how to access the necessary form as a word document, fill it in and email it to them.  Well, why didn't they say that in the first place?  I filled out the form and emailed it, no problem.  Then, playing it safe, I printed out a copy, signed it with a real signature, and mailed it.  I may always be a low tech person, but I get there eventually.
