I was encouraged by one of your PC Workshops to do the first one at our church. It went well. Time for another one. Some things I noted for the next one: 1. Like Peter, budget more time for spyware, virus issues - they can take forever. 2. Need to ID other tech gifted people and work on recruiting their help. 3. Line up a couple workshop speakers for next time. I want to offer basic info on web safety, managing pictures between your camera and PC, emailing pictures, basic web commerce safety, etc Jim...you probably don't realize how far those Workshops reached!

I've run two now - the first with limited success, the second with a little more. I have to remember to budget more time for spyware problems, though. Those just eat up a large portion of time, especially on older PCs. Gotta remember to get another one scheduled soon, though. Jim,
