  2. As simple as PhotoShop is to me today, I can remember once upon a time when it was not. At first having the ability of downloading this software seemed strange until you explained that it was only a 30-day trial version. I can not tell you the amount of money that I have spent over the years on digital software; from Microsoft Publisher too Microsoft Front page for web designing. This stuff was extremely expensive in the beginning, although over time most of this software will no longer cost you the farm. Thanks for reminding me how effective and helpful video instructional tools can be. You can access them almost whenever and wherever today you want, as long as you have the means. Students can repeat the parts of the instruction that is unclear to them repeatedly; a paid instructor at some point during the lesson normally will leave. I saved myself over one hundred dollars yesterday by watching a Meon video online on how to repair and replace a water main shutoff valve in our upstairs shower. The part itself was eighteen dollars, which made me, remember how convenient and economical learning or reinforcing learning a task through video mode can be. Nice!
