Internet Basics

New User Information – Help for Internet Newbies

Archive of various topics not covered elsewhere……….

Browsers
If you are having a site built, remember to click reload or refresh when viewing your site so that you are not viewing a cached page.

Modern browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Your site may look somewhat different in each of these on a PC or Mac, and very different still on a mobile device.

Email
My personal preference is Thunderbird, but many business professionals use Microsoft Outlook.

Email Attachments
File Transmission or How to Send Stuff by Email Made Real Simple.

Some zips are self-extracting, others require appropriate decompression software, for instance is WinZip (commercial) and Winrar (open source).
