Instructions: Almost all of the e-mail programs do the same things - just in a slightly different way. In this lesson we will look at the basic functions most e-mail programs have in common.

Printing out your e-mail so you can give a hard copy to someone. Replying to your e-mail letters. Writing brand-new e-mail letters to send. Attaching files, pictures, or other objects to the e-mail letters you are sending. Sending your completed e-mail messages on the Internet. Keeping a Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Computer Lessons for Kids and Small Adults Lesson 2 The DOS Operating System I think that people, who were forced to find their way around computers running the MS-DOS operating system, are at an advantage because they know what files are and where they live. Operating environments such as Windows and the MAC try to cover up these details, making it harder to learn what really is going on. Picture yourself sitting at a computer with just the DOS prompt on the screen. The DOS prompt usually looks like this C:> . Did you know that there is a program running? Well, yes there is, it's the disk operating system, DOS. It's busy doing what it does best, which is waiting for you to tell it what to do. So you slide up to your trusty input device, the keyboard, and you type a word, say dor and then Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Computer Lessons for Kids and Small Adults Lesson 3 - Files, the Overview The idea about files and directories is very important and actually if you can get a firm grasp of files, you are then on the downward side of the learning curve. If you understand files, you'll be able to figure out most things, and a lot of the black magic involved in using a computer, and a lot of the fear, will simply disappear. These lessons will spend a lot of time talking about files. First I'll give a quick overview of files and then we will make comparisons between files and things you already know. What do I mean by Files ? Files are clumps of computer data stored somewhere in your computer. Each file has a name, a location, and a length, and usually a date of when it was last changed. Files are stored in s Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Computer Lessons for Kids and Small Adults Lesson 4 - Files Are Like LP Records The Record Comparison One way of understanding something is to compare it to something that you already know. LP Records First of all what basically is a file? One comparison is to records, I mean the record player, 33 RPM vinyl records that have been replaced by CD's. If you are too young to remember these, then just think of audio CD's. If you look at the surface of a record, you can see where each of the 'cuts' or songs is. Each one of these songs represents a file. It is a file of audio information, that can be understood and turned into music by your stereo player. Each song file has a title, a length and a location on the record. Each computer file has a title, a length and a location. We cannot make use Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Computer Lessons for Kids and Small Adults Lesson 5 - Organizing Files Is Like Organizing the Fridge How Do You Keep Track Of All Those Files? As you know, a file is a collection of information. It has a name, a size and a date. DOS computers allow names that are 8 characters maximum, then a dot, then a 3 character maximum extension. Such as readme.txt or lesson5.htm. After working with a computer for a while, you can end up with a huge quantity of files. So, 'they' invented directories. Directories were invented to help you organize your files, but, they often seem to confuse people. The people at Apple call directories 'Folders' but that doesn't help much either. One of the reasons it doesn't help is that people are not used to putting folders inside folders inside other folders, however Read More Go to Site
