Thriving on the internet, July 1998, with bonus cat
Hah hah. I discovered this article about me from July 1998 when I was mainly training folks how to use the Internet, or their Macs, or both. Turns out I could see the future. 😆
"Internet sites will one day be as common as phone numbers," says Jordan.
Bonus: the photo includes my cat Minhla, a blue Burmese, sitting on the back of my neck.

Thriving on the internet
BY MARIE MARTIN
City Voice, 09 July 1998
TUTOR Miraz Jordan thrives on teaching people the ever-changing sophistication of the internet.
"Internet sites will one day be as common as phone numbers," says Jordan. Knowledge about the internet has become expected in many home and work based situations.
"You can't escape it; even if you do not have access to it, it is important to become aware," she says.
Jordan's introduction to the internet courses all cost $55, and can be taken in a single day on 1 Aug or in 14 Nov or over two evenings starting on 15 Sept or 15 Oct. Courses are designed for beginners but basic computer skills are expected.
Passionate about her job, Miraz Jordan has been training in this field for over seven years now, the last two years at the CEC.
As well as her standard courses, this year Jordan is offering one of six workshops for women on Suffrage Day, Sat 19 Sept. For $55, women will get three and a half hours sending and receiving e-mail, using newsgroups and finding information.
