From Thursday 24th July, I will run a series of 4 workshops for beginners about the basics of using a personal computer (PC)

Maybe you never have had the time to take a basic computer class, and the books about how to use a computer are difficult to pick up let alone read. Or maybe you want to know how to use a computer to keep up with your children or your students, use email properly, research the net properly, download and organise digital photos, or print properly. Hopefully these workshops will help.

The topic I aim to cover on the 24th July is: How to operate a PC. Issues covered include:

- Inside the box

- Boot up

- User accounts

- Your desktop

- Manage and create files, folders and directories

- File formats

- Saving files to find them

We will be using a number of websites as sources of information: the main one from this post is Basic Computer Skills: Learn to Use a Personal Computer
