Tutorials

Software and Operating System TutorialsI use an awful lot of software in the course of my work–and play. If I am familiar with a program, I can pass on that knowledge. Drop me a line with the name and version number of the program you’d like to know more about. I’ll let you know if it’s in my current field of expertise.
First Intro to Computers

Ever want to break into being a computer user, but find the first step of the learning curve too high? (To blatantly mix a metaphor…)

Ever ask something of a bona fide geek, who wandered away from your fixed, glazed stare twenty minutes later, still muttering “RAM, ROM, Chmod, gigabytes, file allocation tables, WARM BOOT!”?

Think “Introduction to Computers” means “Computer, this is Mary; Mary, this is Computer. Say Hullo.”?

I’m your geek. I first came into computers as a young adult, and I know how it feels to be frustrated with geekspeak and intimidated by the newness and complexity of computers. I can teach, translate, analogize, draw pictures, coach and train.
