Moving Picture Question

We received this question:

"Hey I dont remember how to move a picture."



I'm not sure which class this question applied to. Please leave another comment and be more specific as to what kind of picture you were wanted to move where?

Was it for the Ebay or the Movie Maker class? Do you know where the pictue is now and where do you want to move it?s

There are always several ways to do a computer task. I try to use one way in most of the classes.

Thanks to all and Ebay Class Continues Here

As always we ran out of time in the Ebay class so, I have decided to continue the class right here on the blog. Thanks to all of you in the class it was great and fun.

Some touched on how to build a rating. Obviously when you start out you have a "0".
Start off by making small purchases of things you can use. The rating is based on both buying and selling. After your purchases make sure the seller posts feedback on you.

You can sell with a zero feedback, but I would start with small items. Most buyers are hesitant to buy from someone with a zero.

If you have a lot of competition on selling an item, look for ways to make your item special, like free freight or throw in a bonus item. I have a bunch of collectible postage stamps that I will start adding as a bonus. Some sellers offer free freight if the buyer uses a "Buy it Now" .

Please ask Ebay questions by clicking on the "comments" word below.

Welcome to a new Instructor




Many thanks to Tom Kirkham for teaching our recent anti-virus class. Required listening for all of our classes is his radio show, every Saturday on KWHN at noon. KWHN is 1320 on the AM dial. He answers computer questions from local callers. If you don't want to call in you can email questions and he will answer them on the program. He does the show the same way we do classes with easy to understand language and no "geek speak". You can read Tom's blog and checkout his download section at http://www.tomkirkham.com/

Tom did a great job and we hope he will teach more classes for us in the future.

If you received a CD or programs in a recent class

To: Participants of the January and February RVS "Camera to Computer" and "Installing OpenOffice" classes:

A number of the CD's used in these two River Valley Seniors classes may exhibit errors when trying to install several of the programs from the disc. If you participated in either of these classes and received one of the damaged CD's, please send an email with your complete mailing address to the instructor's email address shown on the bottom of the CD label and a replacement CD will be provided by return mail. We regret the error but are thankful that the damaged discs were quickly reported and can be replaced.
