What technology are you looking at?
I'm reasonably handy, as are a few people around here. If I can't help, I might be able to point you in the right direction. Gaz if you want a hand.

Very basic stuff
Embarrassingly so. Things like putting spreadsheets together and adding photos to documents.

It might sound a bit pretentious but I've always had people to do this sort of thing for me, so my understanding of basic office suites is limited.

I'm teaching myself slowly via some "Retards Guide to Computers" type books - thanks for the offer but that's the way I learn.

I have been using OpenOffice for some time
Its close to MS office in terms of capabilities, but attractively priced at free.

The man has good advice, but I can point you in the right direction for MS software if you're used to it.
I can knock out spreadsheets and web stuff, some image manipulation etc. Honestly, just gaz me your requirements and I might be able to help, or point you in the direction of people who may.

Thanks once again
But I like to teach myself stuff. I have acute technophobia and need to overcome it.

And the stuff we're talking is very basic.

I think I said on here a few months ago that when I was at school (I was born in 1968) a "Computer Studies" CSE was introduced, and the teachers solemnly forbade us bright kids from signing up to it on the grounds that "it was a passing fad."
