Subject: Re: Windows Tutorial for Absolute Beginner
Thanks for the responses regarding the absolute beginner. He is aware of
local classes, but nothing starts up until the fall, so he was hoping to get
going on his own earlier.
I will pass on the suggestion from Dana to look for a local User's Group.
Good idea. I found some material in the Windows Help system. Of course, it
points to MS Press materials, but it's a start. Let's see, they own the
operating system, the browser, the Office Suite, the pubisher that explains
how to use everything. Have I left anything out? Anyone remember the old
Motels song from the 80s ("I would sell my soul for total control...over
you.")
