I just wanted  to make a quick update to let everyone know that I have alot of great videos planned, but I was sick last week. My voice was totally gone and I couldn’t record. I decided that I was finally better yesterday and planned to record today, but last night we had a couple of power outages due to the high winds here in Southern California and now my Windows desktop won’t come on. I’m suspecting the power supply but I haven’t been able to investigate yet.

Thank you for your patience! The next tutorial I have planned will show how to remove spyware and adware from Windows, so look out for that soon!

I am now taking requests and suggestions for video tutorials, so if there’s anything you’d like to see a tutorial on, let me know. I’ve so far only done Paint Shop Pro graphics tutorials, but I’d like to do some other topics too if anyone is interested. Pretty much anything computer related is fair game, so if you have anything in mind, go ahead and suggest it. The worst that can happen is that I won’t be able to do that topic.

note: if you have an example of something to explain what you’d like to learn, please give credit for who made it if possible.

This is my second video tutorial. Going in the same theme as my first one, this tutorial shows how to make basic pixel text and text borders in Paint Shop Pro using PSP9. Paint Shop Pro 9 is used, but this tutorial should work in most versions of PSP.
