Alright we admit, this page was prepared more in the mind of one us than the both of us. Sarah do you want to take over?? Just joking. Dan takes care of most of the computing and definitely has a little more interest in computing than Sarah.

Computers by themselves aren't that interesting. They are kind of like most machines. They do as you instruct them. They don't have minds of their own. But, they do open your mind to lots of possibilities that are not at all mechanical or communication detracting. The key is to use them effectively.

These days with information becoming more and more the product, and information being compacted into some sort of computer file or another the possibilities are exciting. You can access relevant facts and knowledge, you can communicate with just about anyone and you can even experience more and more arts all the time.

Also computers are awfully good at helping one organize and creating a little efficiency in one's life. They can help you to organize your work and easily access it later. They can calculate numbers that you need for living (finances!!) and keep them in organized way.

Computers aren't difficult to use, although they can be a little overwhelming. The key is to go step by step. You can only learn one thing at a time and there seems to be a certain fashion of ascending the computer proficiency ladder that happens logically.

What ever your computer proficiency is there must be something that you have seen done with a computer or think is possible but aren't quite sure how to do it. With computers it seems like if a possibility comes to your mind it has probably already been thought of by someone and can be done. If there is something you are wondering about here are a few sites that will definitely be able to help you out.
