help in SW ohio?
probably a long-shot, but here goes . . . my 60-something brother-in-law just switched from windows PC user to his first Mac, a QS933 running 10.5.6, and i'm asking if there is anyone in the springfield, OH area (drexel st) who would be willing to go over and spend an hour or so (i guess?) showing him how to navigate the OS and the apps, install a printer, set up Thunderbird for his email client, and maybe some basic shortcuts that will help him appreciate the MacOS. i sent him a book and i've been helping him over the phone, but my schedule doesn't jive with his. being 400+ miles away, it's frustrating that i can't just go over to his place and answer all his questions at once. he catches on to things pretty easily, tho, and i'm sure he would offer refreshments to a visitor. anyone willing to help please contact me off-list and i will connect you to Fred so the two of you can work out a date and time. thanks from both of us. - john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: help in SW ohio?
Sandy Patton at Springfield Engraving might have something. Doubt it would be free. There was a place called Springfield Computer repair that offered mac services but their site appears to be down. Maybe somebody at Wittenberg?
