The one we sail on regularly (Celebrity) contracts with a company that provides classes while at sea, allows people to download their photos, create CD, etc. Most of the lines also contract with big corporations. Adam,

The most common comments I get from students who take my classes are things like, "I have taken several computer classes, but none of them have ever made any sense until this one."

Standardized computer lessons and classes can't offer the flexibility that I could offer. While I cover the same material in every series of classes how I teach differs with who I teach. Even the material I cover is generally neglected in most beginner computer classes.

Is it a chat thing that anyone can chime in,or is it just for your web page? I agree with the writer, that most Computer Classes do not tke the time to see if people are "Learning"! I guess they should have pop quizs to test the lessons. Regards,Ernie, a Rick & Adam fan. Adam,I do not know how this reply feature works!

Rick and Adam are GREAT, and we should all feel free (I certainly do) to ask any questions we want to. I think the classes work best when each of us is responsible for his (or her ? don't you just love the way political correctness has "clumsified" grammar!) own progress. On top of that, we are all free to hire Rick or Adam to come over for a private lesson (or problem solving session) at their normal hourly rate. To do otherwise would tend to hold back the more intermediate attendees in favor of the complete beginners. That wouldn't be fair, either. If any person feels too intimidated to ask questions in class, all I can say is "Please do ask your question." Both Rick and Adam have repeatedly said in class that the only stupid question is the unasked one. Accordingly, as an "intermediate," my vote is in favor of the status quo, which I consider to be about as perfect as reasonably possible.
