Hi everyone,

I wanted to tell you a story about my journey to learn how to use my computer. Have you ever felt that you just don’t have the skills to learn your computer and its applications? Have you ever been so frustrated with your computer that you just want to throw it out the window?

That was me too. When I first started playing on the internet, I was just browsing and searching for sites. Whenever I came across a beautiful website; and i saw all the unique apps the web designer put on his page. I would feel really bad because I didn’t feel like I had the skills to do those things, even though I really had great ideas.

So I decided to do an in-depth study of my computer based on what I wanted to do online. I really wanted to blog about important information. I really wanted to be able to share links to other sites, and I really wanted to use the video format to express myself online.

I didn’t have time to go back to school, so I decided to write a book using pictorial examples to explain each instruction. Subject: Introduction to using your computer, basic concepts
