In a recent post I outline a three pronged approach to Practicing Safe Computing. It takes more that up-to-date software or a new computer to keep you safe. It requires "Liveware", an awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding online security.
This week I launched a liveware update project that might interest you. The folks at Apple Computer offer a subscription based ProCare service that provides a low cost education program for all things Apple.
For the ridiculous annual subscription price of only $99, you can schedule weekly one-on-one sessions at your local Apple retail store. When was the last time you received valuable personal computer instruction for only $2.00 an hour?
I've heard the joke about Apple being more of a religion than a computer, so I expected a tent revival instead of a training session. I was pleasantly surprised when Jay (my ProCare advisor) revealed valuable tips for importing my CDs into iTunes. I'm happy to say I've joined the "white headphones generation".
If you are interested in managing your music library, audio and video podcasting, or Apple's launch of $9.99 downloadable motion pictures, check out the Apple ProCare service.
