PREFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS?
Have you had enough of Microsoft Windows and want to try another operating system on your personal computer? Have you considered a dual-boot system with Ubuntu, a free Linux distribution? Installing it is fairly straightforward for experienced PC users. Today's supercomputers now run almost entirely on Linux, because it is a very secure and powerful operating system. |

Please note that David teaches people how to use their computers and software. He DOES NOT fix computers, printers or associated services such as Internet connections. This job is best left to a computer repair service.

THE JOY OF LEARNING
Education as we know it is changing rapidly. The classroom is no longer the only option to receive a world class education. With nothing more than an Internet connection and a computer you have the potential to develop knowledge and skills that will far outweigh the things you would learn just by attending school. The great thing about the school of life is that there are no grades, no tests, or requirements. It's purely about the joy of learning. You're never too old to learn as the oldest university graduate was past 100. |
