Digital Camera and Computer Training

Want to know how to use that digital camera?
 
How to organize all those pictures you took the past couple years?
 
How to best share pictures with friends and family?
 
Hate to read manuals?
 
Need help with other things on your computer? Windows/Vista, file management, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook), email, internet, system purchase/setup etc?
 
I provide patient, thorough, fun, understandable one-on-one or group training in the Greater Portland Oregon area.
 
Not only am I sympathetic to your frustration, I’ll leave you with good notes about how to do it when I’m not there. And, better still, you can always call after the fact for a quick question or two.
 
I also love to speak to groups and write content about technology - click here for more information!
