For 25 years, Fred and Tom Camm operated an interior decorating business in New Jersey without a computer.

Words such as "DOS," "Windows," "PC compatible" and "graphical user interface" sounded as foreign as Swahili. But now the Camms want to start up a new business in Palm Beach, and they've decided it is time to learn the language of computers.

So, a few weeks ago, they enrolled at PC Professor in Boca Raton to "get in step with what's going on in the world today," said Tom Camm. So far, they have learned how to call up a computer directory, create files and copy them onto another computer disk drive.

And they have learned it's OK to make mistakes.

"We don't have any fears," Tom Camm said. "We are sort of apprehensive, but we want to learn and we are not letting the computer intimidate us."

Across South Florida, dozens of schools teach adults computer basics. The classes include, among others, school teachers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, police officers, receptionists, retirees and business owners.

To get started, Michelle Weil, a clinical psychologist, advises people to take training in small doses and avoid day-long computer courses. Practice at the keyboard and ask experts to help lead you through a task instead of watching a demonstration and then trying to mimic it.

To find a computer class, check the phone book for computer training and ask friends and relatives for recommendations. Several computer training businesses, local universities and community civic centers offer beginning, intermediate and advanced computer classes.
