the world was like before there was color.....




A Capacious Catalog Of Computer Tips
December 29th, 2001

Computing With Bifocals - Index Home

Prior to September 1, 2001, the Computing With Bifocals Index was a single, alphabetized, list. However, that format has become much too unwieldy, resulting in this new, by topic, index. I hope you find it faster and easer to find what you are looking for.

A Capacious Catalog Of Computer Tips

Talking to a generation that remembers what the world was like before there was color, covers issues for people who don't care how their computer works, but rather what their computer and the internet can do for them.

Nancy has a Master's degree in Human Services Administration and prior to her retirement she worked for almost 30 years in field of mental health and mental retardation. She has been a Mac user for 11 years, and has recently developed an avocation of teaching basic computer skills in both group and one-to-one settings.
