[nfbcs] November 08 on-line training seminars

Fri Oct 31 10:05:55 UTC 2008

Hello Robert and listers,

    And then he wonders why he's unable to land meaningful employment due to 
inadequate blindness and computer skills. You can only cheap your way 
through life so much. If you expect to go further you as a blind person must 
pay your dues just as anyone else including paying for top-quality training. 
Do you produce tutorials of these online sessions? I'd be interested in 
buying some of them if you do. Keep up the good work.

Peter Donahue

And I am sure you know all about Spanning, command line options, when it is
best to use RAR, ZIP, or LHA formats, how to UU encode and decode archives,
using differential backups versus incremental backups, saving hidden and
system files within an archive, and configuring PK secure ZIP.

I am sure you can show people how to zip a file in 15 minutes.  So can I.
Hooray.  Our Microsoft Certified professional instructors, however, actually
have to get paid on a regular basis, so they offer a bit more.

If a student wants to learn basic math, I suppose they can go see some guy
who knows how to add really well, but professional teachers are expected to
have a meatier background.

Good evening,

"All on-line group sessions are provided at a minimal
charge of $75. per person.  "

You have to be kidding.  $75 to learn how to zip a file?  Contact me off
list and I'll teach anyone interested how to do anything they like with Zip
free of charge.
