New Users Lesson, By Corinne Higbee The beginners have been looking at different sites on the
internet. Art Kime shared this site with us and we
looked at an old picture of the Bentsen Grove area. The site is www.acme.com/mapper. Jim Oberg has a web site that discusses the space program
and the work being done on the For those of you interested in beautiful photography there
is http://www.pbase.com/lbrandt79/root&view=recent A galley of photos can be found here from all around the
world. Hope Jones sends these sites http://www.foulds2000.freeserve.co.uk/index_v2.html
http://www.liquidgeneration.com/sabotage/optical_sabotage.asp We are checking sites to reserve for next years computer
club eat outs. Lin's Chinese buffet said they can accommodate one hundred; and
the cost is 5.49 for seniors plus drinks are extra. The food is very good and looks like a good choice. Keep
coming with your suggestions for us to check out. We recommended that all have the AdWare
6 program downloaded and used after you have been on the internet. It will
keep you from getting spam mail because you are being tracked moving around
the internet. These files and materials dropped into your registery
can be easily removed and save space on your computer. You can get this free
program by going to www.google.com and
doing a search for AdWare. We also recommended that you get the program End It All
and download it to your computer. This is also a free program that will allow you to close
all of the programs running in the background when you want to download
programs form the internet or do a defrag. Go to Google again and do a search for EndItAll. You should defrag once a month. Go to Start, Programs, Accessories
and then System tools and disc clean up. Run the program ,
to remove the materials in the recycle bin , and close the program. Repeat
the steps to the System Tools and Defrag. Running these programs should be
done at the end of the day when you are through using the computer. We will go over the making of CD's on Monday and answer
any questions you want to ask. See you Monday. Corinne |
