The Tower and the iPad

Yikes! When I go to the computer tower I want to touch the screen. When I go to the laptop I forget it does not work exactly like the tower. I must practice the new methods or I revert to the old and unlearn, or unforget, what I learned about the new. HELP!!!

I am betwixt and between. Blessed by new technology, stymied by an older brain and the limits upon my time.
Then the programs on the iPad work slightly differently than the programs on the tower.
Practice, practice, practice. I will eventually get this, but I might not be able to teach others for a long time!!
