Rich Barron of Santa Ana College's Marketplace Education Center
wrote us to let us know that the college offers two dozen free
Macintosh classes as part of their adult education program. The
classes range from basic skills (in English or Spanish), through the
Office 98 programs and into Photoshop, Illustrator, navigating the
Internet, beginning web design, and a new course, Macintosh
Troubleshooting, designed for people who work with Macs or have one at
home.
"It's a heck of a deal," Rich says. "The classes are completely free
- even for parking." The state funds the adult education program and
funding is based on enrollment. The classes are one day a week for an
hour-and-a-half. Classes are offered during the day between 8 a.m. and
2 p.m.; in the evening between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; and on
Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For a full list of offerings,

Free registration begins September 4th, as do the classes. The
semester runs until December 14th. The Marketplace Education Center is
located on the second floor (enter through the parking structure) of
201 E. Fourth St., Santa Ana, CA 92701. Their phone number is (714)
