Dill or anyone who might assist me.
when I click on this: http://www.youtube.com/user/ubuntututor
I am lost. I see nowhere to sign into yourtube or to access videos. I
am not the most proficient user, but I am very interested in these
videos that could indeed make me more proficient. Someone please
advise this challenged almost 80 year old. Thanks
