The computer can be a great source of help or a gigantic elephant. You know the old saying, the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. This definitely goes for the computer. No one just jumps into knowing everything about a computer. The only way to learn is to take it one step at a time and then practice that step. The more you use it, the easier it will get. My hope is that you will conquer your fears and take that step (or bite) and learn to allow the computer to be your friend. Let me know if there is a topic you would like to see explained.
