Our new Series is about to Begin, Week of August 17th

WOW - Can you believe that the summer is going by so quickly and Labor Day is just a few weeks away.... Good news is - computer classes will begin again a week from Monday on August 17th....

Just a reminder that we have Beginner Classes for anyone who is just starting out - talk to Denise and she will be happy to find you a date and time that's good for you or that person you know who wants to join us...

We are really excited about the upcoming series - as you've requested, we are going to focus entirely on mastering the Internet and helping everyone get comfortable with all this new "stuff" like using this wonderful BLOG...

When we begin the series, we are going to review many of the Internet Basics - including info about the new browsers; downloading & uploading; working online or offline and of course saving websites to your favorites... Then we are going to begin working with some of the Internets new features, including Blogging, Facebook, whys & hows of registering on line; photos on line - ordering prints, calendars & other gift ideas; using greeting card websites, such as Hallmark & Jacquie Lawson; shopping on line with major retailers & some of the auction sites, such as eBay, eBid & others - using Pay Pal, making travel arrangements and much more...

So no doubt it's going to be busy but we promise you it's going to be enjoyable.. there's always so much to learn.

This blog is a wonderful idea to help users become more comfortable with communicating online, other than via emails. I hope it has more success than Jack's attempt at same.

Perhaps if users in the UT Bldgs have friends within the Southern Artery Computer Geek classes, the blogs could be expanded further. Hmmmm?

Keep the Faith!
