All good! Great clear demonstrations and easy to walk through the commands. Nice easy, simple demonstration of commands and starts with the help files/folders that is essential and shows how to copy move documents around from the internet to USB drives easily. Looking forward to the rest of this course. Further into the course we get into some more advance scripting which is awesome :)
