HOW TO BUY A COMPUTER
(a)
|
Hesitant about shopping for a
computer? Don’t know what questions to ask or what to choose? Do the terms;
CPU, GB, HDD or RAM, strike fear in your heart? Well, you are not alone.
Most people who shop for a computer are lost in the terminology alone. This
2-day class not only clarifies the terminology, but you get “tips” on what
to avoid, and how to leave the store with a computer that you have
customized to fit your needs, rather than a computer that was a “bargain.”
People who have taken this class were very happy that they did. Try
it….you’ll like it.
