A focused look at the basic operation of the Apple Macintosh personal computer. Topics range from naming all of the basic parts in the first class to a review of all of the security needs in the third class. I hope to give you the resources and the confidence you need to continue your journey beyond the classroom. Although I will be using the latest software from Apple, the lessons should be general enough for older software. Bring your laptop if you want to follow along on your own Mac (2 laptops available from monitor at the front desk). Brad Brooks is trained as an electrical engineer, but also knows how to speak in shorter words.
A Zoom link will also be provided through Green Bytes or on the Member page of this website.
