Welcome

I teach seniors how to use the iPhone and iPad.
Small classes, jargon-free, with a patient instructor, ensure that you learn how to do what you want with your electronic devices.

The guru does not know all the answers,
but he can help you find your answers.

About that old photo…  “Back in 1986, I was an account executive at a Seattle ad agency using Epson word processors.  I was a strong proponent of the Macintosh. When the founder lost a day’s worth of copy, he blew his top and agreed to move to the Mac. With 18 Mac Pluses, several ImageWriters, a LaserWriter, and more, I became the IT manager for the agency, in addition to my regular job.
