I have to say I saw this device several months ago and I was very impressed. They kept the feel of the original Viewmaster yet added basic VR to it. I thought it was very cool. The price point is amazing. I’d recommend taking a look. Even adults who fondly remember this device will get a kick out of it!

Welcome to Intro to Computers! I am so happy you are attending this class. I know you will find it interesting, educational, and hopefully very enjoyable. Check back often at this website for any information or links that I may refer to in class. If I have any handouts, you will find them mentioned here or may be in the list in the Intro folder on the right. There is no book for this class. But I encourage you to check out some computer books at local book stores to supplement what we will be discussing in this class. This class is 4 Saturdays from 8-12. Remember, your attendance is critical, so please attend if you can. I look forward to our time together. Thank you for coming!
