How To Gurus

A few weeks ago, George Peirson contacted me about using Illustrator for my paper model design. He is a software trainer and has his own set of instructional video CD-ROMs available from his website, How To Gurus. As a personal “thank-you, ” George sent me a complementary set (8 discs in all!) to help me learn all about Illustrator.

A week after our conversation, I started checking the mail for the package. It finally arrived on a Saturday, and I was anxious to begin watching the videos even as tired as I was (I like to check the mail late in the evening). To my dismay, all but the last two discs were for a different version of Illustrator. They had the correct packaging and labeling, just different content. I emailed George right away, and within a couple of minutes, I got an email back. Not only was a new set mailed out the following Monday, but I was allowed to keep the other set in case I ever upgraded the software. Now that’s service!

The instructional videos are chock full of information. For programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, I’ve always preferred watching videos. Manuals are fine, but are more suited for things like HTML, CSS, Javascript, etcetera.

Thanks, George!
