My son has just bought a new pc that has Windows 7. He needed help with Email and I thought the video would be worth watching. The rate at which the info was delivered left me standing and think that I would not be alone in wishing that the presenter would speak more slowly.

windows 7 video guide

U fully agree with previous comments that the videos are far too fast and the prewenter speaks much to quickly. Rememmber, we are not all experts and to be be useful, sometime some aspects must be presented more slowly and even repeated more than once. If we were experienced users we probably would not need to view the videos!!. Otherwise excellent.
