The Internet class is the most popular of AMUG’s free Basic Systems Training classes. Seating is limited, so registration is required. You may email your instructor, Jaddie Dodd, or phone him at 770.945.4930 to register.

The Internet class is focused on email and Web browsing and Microsoft’s Outlook Express and Internet Explorer will be emphasized. Unfortunately, time constraints prohibit coverage of every Mac OS email and Web browsing applications. Techniques using other Internet software and America Online will be discussed in less detail—or in more detail upon request during the class.

In the class you’ll learn how to set up a new email account, how to switch from a different email application, how to work with email attachments, how to send messages to a group of friends or family members, how to insert information from other sources into an email message, and how to organize your email messages.

You’ll learn how to browse the Web faster and more efficiently. You’ll learn how to save and organize bookmarks for the Web sites you most frequently visit. You’ll get useful information about shopping online, such as a technique to prevent your credit card from being charged multiple times for a single purchase. You’ll also learn how to collect and store information you find on the Web.

To help you after the class, you’ll receive a handout that summarizes the class’s key points. And if time permits, there could be a quiz at the end of the class to reinforce your understanding of the information presented.

The class will be held on November 17 from 10 am until 1 pm, at New Horizons Computer Learning Center near Northlake Mall. For a map and directions, visit AMUG’s official directions page.

AMUG’s Basic Systems Training classes are free to all, but you can count on being asked to join AMUG if you aren’t already a member! You’re encouraged to get a friend or family member to register for and attend the class with you so that he or she can benefit from the class. AMUG’s Basic Systems Training Classes are just one example of the many valuable resources the Atlanta Macintosh Users Group offers to computer users across the metropolitan area and beyond.
