Mac classes - September '10

September arrives this week; where the heck did our summer go?? Sheesh!

Mac class news for the month:

First, the Saturday classes:

 For starters, Saturday, September 11th, from 10 a.m. to noon, I will be offering my first local Q&A session! I hope to make this a regular monthly feature, with date and time to be determined by popular demand. This session will only cost $10, but will be a full two-hour session offering assistance with anything and everything you might want help figuring out on your computer! In the event there aren't enough questions to fill the two hours, I will fill in with a variety of tips and tricks for doing common tasks on your Mac!

 Then, on Saturday, September 25th, from 10 a.m. to noon, I

will once again be covering iPods, iPhones, iPads & iTunes. Now including coverage of the amazing new iPad, this class will give you everything you need to know to manage your music, movies, TV shows, podcasts and everything else that you could possibly want to put on one of Apple's ingenious devices, as well as how to sync it with your desktop Mac through iTunes. This class

carries a fee of $20.

❖ The above classes are always held in the small meeting room at Ridgway Town Hall, and

are open to drop-ins, with no sign-up necessary ❖

Then...

 This month, the regular FREE "Overview of Mac OS X" class will again take place on the last Wednesday of the month, Wednesday, September 29th from 5-7 p.m. These overview classes are held in the computer lab at the Ridgway Library. There are only eight seats available, and the Library has asked that I handle the sign ups, so give me a call at 970-417-8434 (or drop me an email) if you'd like to attend. (Be aware that first-timers take priority over anyone who has taken the class before, but there are often openings for repeaters).

There are six Macs in the computer lab, so only two of the eight attendees need their own laptops. This class is beginner-oriented, but we cover some different things every month; repeat attendees are encouraged (when there's room)!

As always, let me know if there's something else you'd like me to consider covering in the Saturday sessions.

Mac classes - August '10

August is upon us; and starting out very rainy, eh? I sure love how green everything is...

Mac class news for the month:

 Since it seems to be so popular, I'm once again offering my iPhoto class later this month. It will be held Saturday, Aug. 21st, from 10-noon in the small meeting room at Ridgway's Town Hall.

If you've been wanting to learn all the ins and outs of Apple's popular digital image management program, your next chance is here! This class carries a fee of $20 for the two-hour session.

 Also this month, the regular FREE "Overview of Mac OS X" class will take place on Wednesday, August 25th from 5-7 p.m. These overview classes are held in the computer lab at the Ridgway Library. There are only eight seats available, and the Library has asked that I handle the sign ups, so give me a call at 970-417-8434 (or drop me an email) if you'd like to attend. (Be aware that first-timers take priority over anyone who has taken the class before, but there are often openings for repeaters).

Also, I'm thinking of offering a regular (monthly) casual "Q&A" type meeting this fall/winter, so please let me know if you would be interested in that. I think it could be a lot of fun, and I would imagine it only costing $5-$10 per session.
