With my , as I've drefinitively posted already , " death-within-a-year " possibility , I would like to at least improve my Internet/tech skills before dying , if I am to die .
I know X-Files Geek/other mods?? forbade me ne from trying to find certain help , but , EVEN WHEN I HAVE ASKED FOR HELP that specifically escluded asking for any money or gifts , like , improvement with my ability to work smartphones/tech , which might take some people sitting next to me , helping , showing my fingers where to go ~ Or , the somewhat back-burnered now (but still there) desire to at least get some information about going back to college/school , even on the most " humble/not asking for very much " community collge level ~ Nothing .

I am not where you are, but in SF I'm sure there are tons of ways to get some free instruction. They usually hang up stuff about free sessions for adult learners in community centers and libraries- have you seen any where you are? In public libraries in particular they have those services! You should talk to the front desk/circulation- I'm sure they would be able to tell you more about what they have to offer. I'm sure they would be sympathetic too.
