I taught computing from 1982 to 1995. Among other pursuits, I now provide 'house calls' supporting computer users.
There are certain things that I tell people time and time again... so perhaps
if I present them here too, you may find them useful?
This archive is a stalled work in progress. I have already completed the following useful (I hope!) pages. I intend eventually to address more advanced topics. Pages will start with material
for complete beginners, and progress to more complex or esoteric or less generally
useful information.
You may also find useful things in another archive by me of similar material. It addresses more topics and has more links to other people's work, but it is much less polished. Bookmark this page, then click here to reach that archive.

Why is there a script and hidden graphic on this page? I have my web-traffic monitored for me by eXTReMe tracker. They offer a free tracker. If you want to try one, check out their site. Neither my webpages nor my programs incorporate spyware. If the page has Google ads, they also involve scripts.
