Hi Al, did you use MS DOS? I never used a pc till about 10 years ago, and most of it is self taught. I am a mouse person. My hand rarely comes off the mouse, if I am not typing, so never got to learn the keyboard shortcuts. I cant remember having a computer that didnt use a mouse, I remember a friend of mine had one, that he talked about, but I never saw it. I wish I had, it would make life easier. I am barely managing to use the pc, never mind learn not to use the mouse, lol.
