Expert Profile: Richard Rost

Expertise: I am happy to answer any questions about how to use Microsoft Windows Vista. Also, please be sure to check the Windows Tips & Tricks and Windows Vista Tutorials sections of my web site.

Experience in the area
I have been using Windows Vista since it first came out. I have been teaching Windows (all versions) in the classroom since 1994, and online through computer tutorials since 2002.

Organizations
I have been volunteering on AllExperts in the categories of Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, and Weight Loss for many months now.

Publications
I have created a line of Windows (including Vista) computer tutorials online at www.WindowsLearningZone.com and www.599CD.com/Windows.

Education/Credentials
Personally, I am self taught. I've learned everything I know from books and trial & error. If I don't know the answer, I know how to find it.

Past/Present Clients
I have over 20,000 happy clients worldwide.
