I shared this article on my Facebook page for my friends that claim not to be tech-savvy or “computer people”, because I learned the hard way about not having a backup, which I’m paying for at the moment :/

I believe I’m more than a basic user, according to this list! Ehehehe! And I type with almost every finger, with over 50 words per minute, but with a higher record!

Cheers!

Hey thanks for this! Very helpful. Btw, It toggles the desktop which means hitting that combination again results in getting back to the open windows you had! (Much better than holding the ALT-TAB over to the desktop)

I really feel that people have to accept that computers are part of our life and learn how to use them better. There have been too many times when I’ve heard the excuse, “I’m not a computer person.”

Great tips to pass on. I can’t tell you how many email jokes etc. I get from people that show all the previous people it went to email addresses. If I was a hacker or spammer I would have a field day! I told many to use BCC and in the “to” even use their own address and delete all the previous addresses in the email……but no. Still get them!
Will definitely post to Facebook!

Wow, thanks for taking the time to write this comment, Eric!

I’m not sure I agree about ALL these things, I don’t think everyone should know about JavaScript and Ajax before touching a computer, but it would be nice if people had some basic information before they tried doing something and got in trouble…

Knowing about backing up your data is most important thing IMO

When sending an email, realize that it is like sending a postcard, it isn’t private, also if it was forwarded – remove the previous addresses. Learn how to copy and paste. Install and use an AV program – updating and running scans, the same with an anti-malware program.
