Bonnie, The Hadley school, which does distance learning, has podcasts to help learn the iPhone. Also, National Braille Press has some books. The AppleVis site has some really good materials. I have to say I had a couple of one-on-one sessions with friends of mine who are whiz-bang iPhone users, and that helped, sort of got me launched.
It would be nice if all the state agencies had programs, but if the other states are like Iowa, they are struggling with greatly reduced funding, and they use that funding to help their clients who are looking for work. Should they have training for the rest of us? Oh yeah. But the sad reality is that government funding is not on the rise. So: I hear you loud and clear. I suspect there are people who would do training (for a fee). Someone else may know more about that than I do.

I have an iPhone and don't use it nearly as much as I could. I looked in to whether Ohio had any programs to help people learn to use them and didn't find any. Unfortunately, even if they do have them somewhere, I live in a very rural area so I am out of luck. I kept mine and use it for what I can. I don't have the money to pay for lessons and am shy about working with people with technology. Although I have gotten over a lot of this, I am so afraid I will look like an idiot I have never looked in to doing this. I don't think Josh should give up so soon. He has family members who can help not so much with learning but getting him out of a scrape which I don't have because I live alone. With all we have heard about the iPhone, the one thing we all know is that it has a flat screen so should anticipate a huge learning curve.

How do I unsubscribe from this list. I never should have gotten an iPhone in the first place. I don't want to take the time to learn how to type on the stupid keyboard on the screen. I hate the idea of having to type in my apple ID when I want to download an app. Stupid security. My flip phone was so much easier. I could just turn it on and it would power up and away I would go. No having to type in my stupid pass code to unlock my phone. I never should have let that article I read about seeing AI influence my decision to get an iPhone. On Monday I'm contacting apple to see about getting it returned and most of my money back. With apple care and the cost of my phone, I spent almost $1000. I could have bought a great desktop computer for that much money and it has a real keyboard on it. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
