The Beginning of the End of Your Fear of a Computerns

 

Overview:
Unfortunately, most technical tutorials seem to be written to those who already have a complete understanding of the subject material. This tutorial on basic computer operation is intended to help virtually anyone who wants to learn more about operating a computer (you don't have to be a geek to understand it -- if I did my job properly :). It will start out with the most basic information and will progress from there. I will cover mainly Microsoft Windows XP and its bundled software but I will also cover some of my favorite software.

My email address is on every page. If you feel that something needs to be covered in more detail, if you have a question or would simply like to comment (positively or negatively) on a particular page, feel free to email me. If you find an error please email me.

This tutorial is written to help even the most technically challenged so if you're relatively comfortable with the basics, you may want to skip ahead. For the rest, I'll try to make it as easy as possible. I know some people learn more from images than from text and others prefer descriptive text. I'll try to include as much of each as possible. I know that the first few pages are relatively basic but if you're really new to computers (or vice-versa), please read through them.

Throughout this tutorial, I use far more sets of parentheses than would be acceptable in most forms of writing. I do this to make points as clear as possible. Sometimes, the text in the parentheses is quite long but the information is important. If this prevents you from understanding a particular sentence, read the sentence while completely skipping over the content in the parentheses.

Navigation Through the Tutorial:
As you can see, there is a directory to the right of this page. It has a list of links. At the top are the most basic topics. As you progress downward, the topics get a little more complex but if you follow the tutorial all of the way through, in the order that the topics are presented, you WILL be able to follow along just fine. Do not try to absorb everything here at one time. Read a little at a time at a pace with which you're comfortable. If you find it getting to a point that's more technical than you want/need on a particular page, go to the next page, skip the page, or quit reading (assuming that you've learned everything you need to learn).
