The most common piece of feedback I receive about my monthly computer users group goes something like this; “I love coming to the meetings, but I don’t understand most of what you say.” Or, “Almost all of the information is over my head.”
I dedicate today’s meeting to all you folks who want to learn (and rightfully so) the bare bone basics about computers. This article will give you links to those basics that make computing a much easier endeavor.
And please don’t keep this valuable information to yourself, pass this article on to any and all of your computer buddies/family that could benefit from a little basic training about computers.

Thank for for this extensive Boot Camp guide. I learned a lot from it, and my husband should profit greatly as well.
We have finally gone to high speed internet from dial up–no choices until now. Now we can both look at your videos and download the security software you suggest. Thank you for being there all these years. Sue

Thanks for this. I have passed the URL onto 6 friends just now, and can probably think of at least another 4 who will also find this invaluable. Your tutorials are very well structured for those that find PCs a bit daunting.
Beautiful! Thanks and keep up the sharing!
