On Wednesdays,
from 9:30-10:30 a.m., I teach Tech For Rookies at the Chicago Cultural
Center (formerly the Chicago Public Library), 78 E. Randolph. Drop in any time;
fee is $3. You'll learn how to receive and send e-mail and text messages; set
up the address book and calendar; use the camera; take, save, and e-mail
photos; download apps; and more.
Private lessons
are also available at your place or mine. Hourly rates start at
$25, and may increase depending on the location.
And, if you're
contemplating a purchase of an Apple product, but are anxious about its use, I
will accompany you to a store in Chicago or a nearby suburb. I'll translate the
instructions given by the specialist, and assure that you don't exit until you
are confident you can access key programs and applications. Again, hourly rates
start at $25, and may increase depending on location.
