The original Tutor.COM product developed out of early microcomputer classes I taught in 1985. It was described as a "minicourse in microcomputing" and was quite popular in the shareware market. It evolved and expanded somewhat over time but was retired and converted to freeware in 1995. This web version is a simple conversion of the last version into web format with the addition of "more info" links (designated by ) throughout. In the future it might be updated but no promises are made. Please consider this posted version a rough draft. Some "more info" links won't work and there are some placeholders. Changes will be posted as made.
