[Trainer-talk] Windows 7 questions

[David Goldfield]

I want to add my recommendations for Cathyanne's textbooks.  I'm an 
assistive technology trainer and I am often very critical of some of the 
training materials I have heard but Cathyanne's is amazingly good, with 
a good balance of professionalism and still being able to convey the 
sense of wonder and curiosity that you want users to feel when learning 
how to use a computer.
