For those who are inexperienced,
new to, or just uncomfortable with computers

Windows™ can be a difficult beast. If you are new to computers, the learning curve is so much steeper. Even hardened users are frequently unaware of the simplest of keystrokes that could save them hours in the long run. How do you use the machine if your mouse is broken? How do you take a screenshot to email to a friend (or a helpdesk)? Where do you change the settings for the display? The screensaver? Easy when you know how, but nobody knows until they have been shown and we all have to start somewhere. Look at these examples...

Scenario 1:

You went and bought the kids a computer, got it home and set it up after an hour with the manuals and several cups of coffee. Now you want to learn to use it, so they will stop laughing at you. Kids are that cruel. You know it.

Scenario 2:

The kids school homework has to be printed out. You can spend every night sat over them while they do it. If you leave them to it and give them unrestricted access, they may see/delete/overwrite your email (Kids being inquisitive by nature). Or that letter to the bank manager. Or worse, crash the system and you could lose everything. Perhaps a little basic training would be helpful for all the family?

Scenario 3:

Your job requires you to work with the damn things, but you don't like them and you never will. Common sense should tell you that the more you know, the faster you can finish the work and get away from the horrible thing and back to something enjoyable. Two famous quotes for you:-

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
"Better the devil you know"

Scenario 4:

You have family overseas and want to learn how to use email and video messaging to speak to them. You want to know who Amazon are or how to buy / sell on Ebay but are worried you may break something or damage the computer somehow.

A lot of people are scared to touch a computer, literally. The best way to conquer any fear is to face it, and computers are a lot less scary than snakes or rottweilers. When dealing with computers it tends to be more a fear of the unknown. So, make it known. Lose the fear and open up your life a little.
