Ali's technophobia

I am pretty much in the same boat as you when it comes to technology, Ali. I can use Office, Explorer, that sort of thing; but I am kind of lost with a lot of the more technical stuff. I can scan drawings, but when it comes to using photoshop to clean them up, it takes me hours to figure how to do a simple task.

As much as this whole on-line portfolio might be a giant pain in my ass now due to the shear time I have to put in to make it happen, I am very glad we've been assigned to do this-simple because I am getting more and more familiar with photoshop, composer, etc. This is especially important for the field I want to break into (familiarity with photoshop is a must for junior editors at Marvel).

Now, I have worked tech support for Amazon.com (which is really just hand-holding for computer illiterate old people), and if it makes you feel any better, I can tell you that there are people that cannot find the refresh button on their internet browser (or know what it is for that matter). So you're still way ahead of the game for that matter.
