5.0 out of 5 stars computer help for the computer shy, July 8, 2009

By 

Mike's Rite "Less war, more jobs please" (Brunswick, Maine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computer Comfort - Windows Vista Edition (DVD)

Windows Vista was a giant step backward in terms of user-friendliness --- so much so that I've had many requests from librarians and adult education teachers to develop a "Windows Vista" version of Computer Comfort.

This computer help DVD is ***guaranteed*** to get people comfortable with using a Windows Vista computer.

This "computer class you can watch on TV" was created by an experienced adult services librarian and computer technologies instructor (Me).

I taught basic computer skills to adult learners from 1997-2007 in various public and academic libraries. During that time I learned how to effectively teach the computer shyest of adult learners.

Computer Comfort is my "intro to computers" class in a box.

This program utilizes colorful graphics, still photos, screen recordings and video to gently get your "computer shy" friends and/or relatives up to speed with a Windows Vista computer in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
