E-MAIL is exactly what it implies, however it is not just writing and receiving E-mail,
but it is how to Blind Carbon Copy, download files and photos, attach, create groups and how to clean up
your E-mail so that you DO NOT send all your email addresses to the world for the "spammers" to get
their hands on. You really need to have mastered Level 3 prior to taking this THREE session E-Mail class.

COMPUTER MAINTENANCE Maintaining Your Computer is as important as
running a household: you have to clean, get rid of junk, take out the trash and make sure no illness
invades it. The same should be done to your computer. Just like any household, your computer
will run better and safer.

PRINTSHOP is a basic desktop publishing program. You will learn how to
create greeting cards, business cards, signs or posters, and mailing labels. You can be very
creative, but you don’t have to be an artist, it's all done for you. It is fun, but again a foundation of the
basics is necessary to fully explore this very productive software. Your "rewards" are your achievements.
