PC CD for beginners with digital cameras

Almost everyone knows someone who has purchased a digital camera and has no clue about resolution, compression, digital zoom and so on. John Socha, writer for Shutterbug and other magazines (as John Stewart) has published a comprehensive CD tutorial combining spoken word and visuals that can help. It's called "How To Use The Digital Camera You Just Bought!"

John is a frequent guest on Wisconsin Public Radio, teaches beginner digital camera use at Western Technical College in La Crosse, and is a 25 year radio veteran. He has published about 12 critically praised beginner tutorials since 1991. These include "What is Windows?" "What's a Modem?" and "How To Buy Your First Digital Camera." He has worked with Lexar, IBM and others to explain technology in simple terms. (Google "John Stewart Socha" for a Wiki on him.)

The CD is $12.95 plus shipping from www.acpress.com. (The CD format was selected, as a minimal degree of PCs is needed to fully use a camera. If a person can't use a CD, they need to get some basic PC help before going digital!)

You will also find some podcasts on the site, if you want to hear a bit of John's style of teaching. Please pass this on to your friends who are struggling with their cameras! TIA!
