The first part of my fun, action-packed Saturday was volunteer work as a computer tutor. A non-profit organization holds classes in basic computer skills at the San Jose Public Library. (I previously said that they were for the homeless, but they're open to anyone with an interest.) The class uses self-paced instruction, and volunteer tutors help when students get stuck.

It was harder than it would seem. I had a tough time explaining things without referring to concepts that presume a certain amount of computer literacy. For example, try explaining the difference between a hard drive and a network drive to someone who isn't familiar with computers and networks.

I was matched with a lady who was somewhat impatient and frustrated. (Poetic justice--she sounded like I would sound if I was in her shoes-;)) I guess that I didn't annoy her too much though because she asked if I would be back next week for part 2 of the class. And yes, I plan to be there.
