Welcome and Come Back Often
Hello,
Yes, it's true, I've been working with computers since the earlier '80s. My first computer was an Apple II, then I purchased a Radio Shack TRS-80. For those who remember these systems, you probably will not need the information on this blog. But if you are an old-timer like myself, please contribute your expertise, it will be welcomed.
As investors, time and money is paramount.
- If you are the Do It Yourself type, but lack computer skills, this blog is for you.
- If you need a quick easy tip or shortcut you can use on your marketing materials, this blog is for you.
- If you like the idea of FREE information that you can really use, this blog is for you.
- If you are looking for a free computer program that others may charge hundreds of dollars for, then this blog is NOT for you. Seriously, this is a blog about quick and easy shortcuts to assist you in your business.
If you are worried that I might lose you with a lot of geeky computerese, no problem. I also work part time as a computer instructor at a local college. And all my past jobs since the '80s have been in end-user support or teaching positions. I have learned to break down computerese into everyday English, anyone can understand.
Just like the rest of you, I'm very business building my investing business. However, I will do my best to post useful and timely computer shortcuts as often as possible.
I hope you enjoy this blog.

I remember using CPM on an old Kaypro computer. If I remember write I was using it to run Wordstar. Around the same time we had IBM XPs running on MS-DOS floppies. I remember being so excited when the IBM AT came out.
