Everybody has questions.
Nobody knows everything about computing.
It's OK to ask questions, and to make mistakes.
That's how we learn.
It lists some links (underlined words) on which you can click to go and read information articles.
These articles contain other underlined links on which you can click, which will take you to other pages with further information.
You can't get lost in these pages, even though we all feel confused sometimes at just how much information is 'out there'.
Each link listed below will take you to another page on this site.
All those pages have a back to 'Look Here First' link down the bottom. Clicking that link will always bring you back here.
Also, your browser has a BACK button, which takes you back one step.
If you click on a new link, then decide you don't really want to stay there, you can click on BACK, and back you go to where you 'opened the door' to that page by clicking on that new link.
You'll learn more as you go along, so take your time.
Everybody, even 'experts', started right at the beginning and learned one step at a time.
You're welcome to Save and/or Print any of this information (these commands are in your browser's File menu at the top of the page).
Each page has 'anchors', a list of underlined Contents at the top, so you know what's coming.
You can click on one of the Contents (anchors) to go straight to that part.
Each part also has a 'back to Contents' link, so you can go back to the top of the page if you wish.
Using Page Up or Page Down keys on your keyboard will move you further on or back in the same page, as will pressing your cursor (pointer) on the up and down arrows on the right-hand side of the page window.
Each page also has a mailto: link, an underlined email address.
You are welcome to click on that to send me comments or questions, or just to say "Hi!".
Most websites have mailto: links, so it's good practice ;-)
NEW: Since this site will continue to grow, I have written a page which shows you simply where things are on the site:
you can click on the Site Map anytime to have a look, or save it or print it out, then come back here by pressing the back to 'Look here First' link at the bottom of the site map page.
