Educating yourself about computers and software programs
represents a very expensive proposition in both time and
money.
Anyone who has ever seen those Video Professor
advertisements on TV knows that a simple tutorial on CD-Rom
costs $59 plus shipping and handling. Most people don't
realize computer and software training is readily available
online, some of it as good or better than the introductory
courses that can cost you a lot of money.
Would you like to learn how to set up a web page? Do you
want to learn how to use your word processor for
accomplishing more than just typing simple letters? How
about learning to use all the great "secret" features in
your email program?
