Challenge Prompt

Ohhhh, Tab, Tab, Tab…. what has she done.

My friend Tabby just got a new laptop and she’s been using it to take notes. She says she puts her whole life on there!

She was so excited to finally have a date with a boy she liked, but she completely forgot the details of where and when. She told me she remembers writing it in a note… but she doesn’t think she saved it!!

She shared with us an export of her laptop files.
