After performing his duties as a United States Marine in the early 1950s, my father landed a job with Sperry Rand Corporation, a company associated with the Univac computer. I was born to one of the first computer “geeks” — my father was a systems engineer who fixed them when they broke — and they broke often.
It is amazing how computers have changed our lives, and they have only been in existence about seventy-three years, having been invented in 1937.
Having purchased my Alienware computer and some updated Adobe programs, I started to feel “lost.” Besides getting instruction in Adobe Indesign from my young teacher, Angela Mihal, an agent in the Las Olas office, I subscribed to LYNDA.COM.
I would recommend this highly-afordable service to everyone. There are mini-videos for about every computer application on the planet. The videos are hosted by certified instructors who have kept the topics short and to the point.
