If you want to be more proficient with your computers, attend our two-day, hands-on boot camp. The teaching is geared to beginners but not complete beginners - you need to already be comfortable with the mouse and minimizing/maximizing/closing windows. We find that people who have used their computers for years learn a lot as well. This is for Windows-based computers - either Windows XP or Windows Vista. Below are some details on exactly what will be covered. You can also see our Blog Post from the last Boot Camp.
We picked topics that we consider the most important foundation for any computer user. Each ‘session’ consists of 3 parts 1)demonstration 2)hands-on assignment; 3)review.
Topics covered include:
- Know your computer; make & model, operating system, hard drive size, memory size, support website, shutdown and sleep options, what to do when things go wrong
- How to write a letter with software on every computer (WordPad), save it, and find it again. How to print it on someone else's printer if you don't have one by copying it to a USB drive.
- How to backup important files to CD, and keep your computer clean and safe
- How to Use WiFi to get online and browse, search, set up favorites
- How to access your email using webmail.
The cost is $99 for one or two people with one computer. You bring your own (Windows-based) laptop computer. This price includes instruction from both Jim and Chris Guld (Geeks on Tour), an exercise workbook, and a CD of video tutorials. It does not include the RV site fees for the 2 days.
