Mac Classes – June 2015

Well, May was certainly everything I hoped it would be, putting my drought worries to rest (for now anyway). I don't know that I've ever seen this place looking so stunning. I love the brilliantly white peaks looming over the verdant green spring growth below.

Anyone looking for a computer class to attend this month? Due to schedule changes at the Library (not to mention the fact that most of us are doing something outside on Saturdays in June), I'm moving my one focused class to a Tuesday evening this month. Please do give me your thoughts about this change!

On to the class details...
Class list for June 2015:
Tues., June 23rd, from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Ridgway Library: "Photos for Mac"; an in-depth exploration of Apple's new replacement for iPhoto.
Wed., June 24th, from 5-7 pm: FREE Mac OS X Overview; Ridgway Library.

Please, let me know if you plan to attend either of these classes; if I get enough commitments ahead of time, I don't have to send out a nagging reminder!
 First off, for a change, on Tuesday, June 23rd, from 5:30-7:30 pm, I'm offering my first in-depth class on Apple's new Photos program for Yosemite. I've had quite a few clients get quite discombobulated by the switch, but it's actually a quite powerful upgrade from iPhoto. As a version 1.0 app, it also has some missing features and odd functionality. If you're running Yosemite on your Mac, you need to take this class to learn all the ins & outs of this new program! Please note the unusual day and time for this class, and do, let me know if you plan to attend. Cost, as usual, is $20.

 Then, the very next day, I will be doing my regular last-Wednesday-of-the-month class at the Ridgway Library on Wednesday, June 24th from 5-7 pm. This month, it's the FREE Mac OS X Overview. This class is held in the Library's computer lab. Space is limited, so you have to sign up, 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).

For the Mac Overview, 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)!

Happy Summer everyone; I hope to see you at a class one day soon!!
