January 27th session

Thankyou, Noela for allowing me to look over Len's shoulder again for another tutorial. I checked into defragmenting as you instructed and found that two of my disks need no defragmenting, but a third that was loaded from a previous computer did need defragmenting. It took all afternoon as you warned it might. Thankyou for the review of tabs. Our failed attempt at loading an old camera into a new computer was illuminating. The same hardware worked fine on my "old" XP. Thankyou again.

Thanks for a great session today with Noela at Wet library. As I am reading internet for dummies,, it nearly serves as a course outline for ones like us. However, many key computer terms, although higlighted and explained in the text book, require a personal explanation by a coach. Our coach was able to review my list of new languqge terms very adeptly. We also reviewed tabs and were shown how to install a digital camera and how to uninstall by way of an instructional disk. Regards , Len Greck

Very enjoyable session today discussing and actually using the library's internet service on a house computer. Accessed Google search, Firefox, Bing and discussed terminologies and tabs and viewed maps of Japan.

Thankyou for the opportunity to look over the shoulders of Len and Noela. I learned more about tabs, histories, search engines, Amazon,ca, ebooks, and personal websites. I will try to set up a modest site this evening.


We considered how half of Haiti is truly illiterate. In Canada, even in my later years, Len and I find that we must learn to read and write the language of the computer to be competitive. Thanks again.

I sat down with Jeff and Len to go through some of the basics of Len's computer, and a few things about Windows 7.  It was an excellent session.

Many thanks for the now two hour long sessions with Wetask. libray computer coach. These introductery lessons are exactly what I was looking for. Having not had a computer before. ad just acquired a lap top on boxing day. The teacher is very adept at showing me how to use and set up my lap top. She is very patient and explains things in a very understandable way. I am looking forward to my next session on Jan. 20. Thanks again for your helping me in this way.
