The browser has many options with their use, the
main one is the browser
preferences.
email (using several methods and
software)
email is one of the most used aspects of the
internet where you can very easily send brief messages with
attachments to you family and friends. The most popular software for
email is Eudora with the MS
Outlook Express catching up
rapidly.
Hotmail
I have not wittigly used hotmail so we will need to do a search
on this using Sherlock as described
earlier.
Mailing lists
I have not used mailing lists as such but subscribe to many
active internet sits by including a simple message in their
subscription page. We will demonstrate this during the lesson.
