Anyone can learn to use a Mac. If you are completely new to using computers, new to the Mac, or simply want to learn more about the programs you are already using, I can help.

I have extensive professional experience using many varieties of Apple and Mac software. Also, I tutor elementary school children and college-age adults how to use Macintosh computers. I can teach anyone how to use a Mac so that he or she feels comfortable and confident using a computer.

My personal computer history...
I've got 25 years' experience on Apple computers starting way back with an Apple ][ that I used in a computer class I took in high school. After learning to program that computer, I bought an Apple ][+ of my own in 1981. With that computer I wrote commercial graphics software as well as software for the newly-established computer graphics department at Orange Coast College. My first Macintosh was an original Macintosh SE into which I installed a 30mhz processor upgrade card. I used that primarily for MIDI sequencing work at my recording studio. My next Mac was a Power Mac 6100 that I was able to install an AudioMedia II card into. This was a fairly tricky process since it was not designed to accept add-on Nubus cards. I used that machine for graphic design, page layout, and audio recording work. For a period I also owned a Power Mac 8100 that gave me a little more speed an expandability. My next machine was a beige G3 tower that was quite a workhorse. Originally it ran at 333MHz but after several upgrades, that G3 ran a 500MHz processor, all of which I personally installed. My present computer is a Mac G4 with dual 1GHz processors. This has been a great computer that has smoothly run both OS 9 and OS X. And by the way, my daughter has an original 1998 bondi blue iMac that is still going strong.
