Other than that the tutor will demonstrate how to accomplish various tasks, and generally aim to widen people’s experience and know-how in the use of these amazing electronic devices. Students are encouraged to make notes during the workshop. Since the workshop is not a course, a Manual is not provided. For many Mac users, it is a question of getting used to some differences from Microsoft, with which they may have been previously familiar. Past users of Microsoft Word and Excel would probably find “Office:mac” the best software to install if buying a new Apple computer, as it is very similar to their past experience.
