Butch Hibben, a technology specialist, is cheap. And he admits it openly and proudly. So he locates the types of programs that are not likely to be discovered by genealogists (because they often aren't marketed to genealogists or aren't noticed by them).
These are NOT family history programs/apps/websites that he will be sharing; these come from other fields and are found using other descriptors (i.e., if you Google "genealogy," it is very unlikely any of these will pop up in your results, even on page 285 of X-thousand). But when you are introduced to them, you will surely discover that they are just what you need to make it easier to function as a genealogist. This applies to historians of any experience level. The majority are for PCs, not Macs, unfortunately (though at least one website will be introduced and that, of course can be used on either machine).
Bring your laptop and follow along, applying your computer use to the apps and programs demonstrated, with Butch helping you if you get stuck. And even those who are still trying to get the hang of just using a computer as something more than a glorified typewriter are likely to discover the user-friendly quality of these helps.
