    Most have no idea what is going on in the computer world. They just bring their machines in every year or less to get formatted.

    I'm making the cd as simple as I can and so easy my Mom could use it. Hopefully I can make some money teaching instead of all these formats.

    If it pans out it should be on an ebay site near you soon ;-)
