'Show-Me' Computer Lessons:
Computer Training is what we do. Chris and her mother, Marilyn owned and operated the first commercial computer training center (Computer Savvy, Inc.) in Florida from 1983 - 1996 when they sold to Productivity Point. Jim worked at Computer Savvy and was a certified Microsoft Instructor. Now that we are on the road - we love giving seminars at RV parks and rallies. But, that's not enough. The tutorials below can be viewed at your leisure, you can pause them to take notes or try it out, and you can re-view them any time you want.
This video collection is currently (December 2006) under development and is totally free. Someday we will start charging for it ... you will be asked to sign up for an account and enter a credit card. So ... get it while you can! Any questions, feel free to email me.
You will need the latest version of Flash - and a high speed Internet connection. If you don't have high-speed, you can pause the playback until you see the download progress is sufficient, then start playing. If your system is set to block popups, you may have to hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the video you want to watch.
Some of these are lessons that should be viewed in order - they are numbered - the rest are more 'tips and tricks' . Chris
