|
I am now on the internet with a webtv box. I am getting a computer in a few days and am looking for a reasonable ISP in Pennsylvania. I am also totally computer illiterate and am looking for articles on how to use the computer. Webtv is very simple and I am overwhelmed by the complexity of a computer.Thanks for your help.

RE: Help with Learning About the Computer
It is very easy to learn to use a computer. All you need is someone knowledgable to show you how.
Call the nearest high school. Ask to speak with a computer teacher. Let this teacher know that you are looking for a helpful, bright student you can hire to come over for a few hours a week for a month or so. They will send you a student who is likely to major in computer science, and hiring a student is much less expensive than finding a professional.

I am also using a webtv unit and want to learn how to use a pc. I found free courses at http://www.ThirdAge.com. They are helping me a lot. Also they have discussion boards, and there are a lot of webtv users there trying to learn the pc.

RE: Help with Learning About the Computer
I work with computers everyday so I can tell you that the very most important things you can do is make sure you keep it up to date with all the latest windows updates and latest virus definitons. Scan and Defrag your hard drive about once a month. Sound scary? Don't worry click on these links and it will take you to detailed websites with instructions that even have pictures! Good luck and enjoy your new computer and remember the only way to learn is to play around and mess a few things up so you will have to learn to fix them. :0) http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena/dept/ehslan/help/windows_update/
