Re: Regarding Beginner Classes

Hi Jose,

Thank you from starting this topic up again. It's come up many times before.
People are making very good suggestions and a general training or review 
of basics is in order.
If we are able to pass on the basic and very fundamental computer 
concepts that will put give everyone a big advantage.

A good foundation of fundamentals puts us in a better position for more 
advanced topics too.
Next meeting is June 20, but some may even chose to get involved before 
hand.
I am busy too but will see what I can do and when. Been teaching some on 
an individual basis.
