As you can see my blog has had a total makeover and I’m so excited. Thanks to the wonderful team at Catalyst Media here in Bundaberg, in particular, Trudy, Mandie and Bevan, my blog now looks like me. I’ll blog more about the design later. Right now I’m just jumping up and down and shouting […]
11 Comments »My mother was showing me her options for U3A classes. One in particular took my eye: “Computers for the Terrified”. I imagine this would be a prerequesite for Computer Basics (also offered).
