Modern realities are such that the computer has become an integral part of our life for a long time. It is necessary at work, in the family and at home, for leisure, etc. The amount of data that we trust to a PC is constantly and rapidly growing, and it is already difficult to believe that only some twenty years ago for many of our compatriots, the concept of "computer" was mysterious and abstract.

But in order to become a full-fledged user of a computer, it is not enough just to purchase it and put it in the workplace. First you have to get at least some minimum of knowledge and skills that will allow you not only to find out what a modern PC is and what it consists of, but also how, in fact, to use it. Moreover, there will be few consultations from more "advanced" acquaintances: you will have to read special literature, which includes the proposed book - designed, by the way, for the very novice users (simply speaking, for "dummies").

The relationship between a person and a PC is provided using a special software product called an "operating system". At the moment, the most popular are systems manufactured under the Windows brand from Microsoft. But there are other "operating systems", for example - Linux, Unix, MS-DOS. In this book, we will consider the Windows system, because it is it that is used on the vast majority of computers (the description is based on the example of Windows XP Professional).

Chapter 1
General information about the personal computer

So what is a typical personal computer? This, as well as many other things, is described in the first chapter of the book.

1.1. What is a typical PC made of?

The key element of every PC is the system unit. It is he who provides the processing and storage of all data necessary for the user. The system unit consists of a number of individual elements, which together form a single whole. We will not consider each of them in detail, since the purpose of the book is to teach a person to use a computer, and not to tell about its device. We just emphasize that any PC includes:

Hard disk (in a simple way - "hard drive");

Random access memory (RAM; in a simple way - "RAM");

CPU;

Motherboard;

Video card;

Fan.

All these elements are located inside the body; without any of them, in principle, the operation of a computer is impossible. However, other devices may be present in the system unit: a fax modem, a TV tuner, a network card, etc. - here a lot depends on what tasks are solved using this computer. For example, to watch TV programs, you need a TV tuner, to use the Internet - a modem, etc.

A hard disk is used to store data in a computer. But for this you can use (and often it is more convenient) and external media - floppy disks (which, I confess, are already living out their days), CD and DVD-disks, "flash drives", etc.

Their use is possible if there are appropriate devices in the system unit: for floppy disks - a floppy drive, for disks - CD– or DVD-ROM, etc. Sometimes it is useful to use a so-called "removable hard drive" - \u200b\u200bfor example, in order not to leave a lot of valuable or secret data to which unauthorized persons should not have access.

In addition to the system unit, the computer also includes a number of necessary technical means, such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer.

The monitor looks like a regular TV. The result of the processes in the system unit is displayed on its screen. Today the market offers a wide range of any monitors - both with a cathode-ray tube - whose age, however, is already coming to an end, and liquid crystal. How to choose a suitable monitor for yourself and test it, we will talk further below.

Advice. Please note that choosing a monitor is a very responsible process. Try to get the advice of specialists or at least more experienced users before that. The correct choice of a monitor is essential for health (primarily eyes), as well as for comfort, so this issue deserves close attention. It is highly undesirable to buy monitors that have already been in use.

A keyboard is a device that is used to input and output information. Simply put, using the keyboard, the user gives commands to the computer to perform certain tasks (operations). Working with the keyboard is easy even for beginners; the only difficulties in the initial stages are associated with remembering the location of the keys and, accordingly, quickly finding the required symbol.

The functions performed by the computer mouse manipulator are in many respects similar to the functions of the keyboard: first of all, they are input and output of information. In addition, it is more convenient to perform a number of actions using the mouse.

The key elements of a mouse are its buttons. The left button is intended for performing most of the most common actions (calling menu items, selecting text fragments, etc.); as for the right button, it usually invokes context menu commands.

Keyboards and mice are also widely available in the market. Here are wireless and optical, and a whole range of different models and options. When choosing a keyboard and mouse, first of all, be guided by considerations of practicality - otherwise you risk spending money for completely unnecessary "bells and whistles".

A printer is a printing device with the help of which the data displayed on the monitor screen is displayed on paper. The printer connects to the computer in the same way as a monitor, keyboard and mouse - using a cable that plugs into the port on the back of the system unit. Today there are three types of printers on the Russian market: dot matrix, inkjet and laser.

The undoubted advantage of dot matrix printers is their relatively low cost and ease of maintenance. The main drawback is the noise emitted during printing, which often causes serious discomfort (especially if several dot matrix printers are used in the same room).

Inkjet printers also differ in low cost, but at the same time, in comparison with their matrix “brothers”, they have better print quality. The main disadvantage of inkjet printers is the unjustified high cost of maintenance (the price of a new cartridge is sometimes more than half the cost of the entire printer).

The most "modern" printers these days are laser printers. They are cheaper than dot matrix and inkjet, and the print quality is better, and the cost of maintenance (in particular, refilling the cartridge) is quite reasonable.

So, we are more or less familiar with the most important elements of a modern computer. However, there are also technical devices that are not "vital", but are necessary for some operations. The most common example is a modem.

This device is designed to connect your computer to the Internet. Modems can be built-in (that is, located inside the system unit), or external, made as a separate device connected to the computer via a cable. In order for the connection to the World Wide Web to be possible, it is necessary to set up an Internet connection (we will talk about this below). The modem receives and sends data over the Internet.

To quickly transfer information from paper to a computer, a special device is used - a scanner. It allows you not to enter text typed on paper from the keyboard, and thereby saves a lot of time. In addition, the capabilities of the scanner make it possible to create and print a document, the formation of which in the traditional way is unrealistic or impractical.

1.2. Basic computer specifications

The main technical characteristics of a computer are: hard disk size, processor clock speed and RAM size. Of course, these are far from all the parameters available for a PC, and their own indicators exist, for example, for a modem, video card, sound card, etc. However, it is these three characteristics that give the most complete picture of a particular computer, its speed and ability meet the needs of the user. Let's take a quick look at each of them.

It is easy to guess what the volume of a hard disk is: this indicator characterizes the capacity of the hard drive, and based on this, you can determine how much and what information can be stored and processed on a computer. For most users, a hard drive that can hold from 80 to 160 GB of information is quite suitable.

The clock speed of the processor also matters a lot. Along with the amount of RAM, this indicator directly affects the speed of the computer. If you are not going to play powerful modern games on your computer, deal with complex processing of music files, videos, graphics, etc., then a processor frequency of 1.5-2 GHz will be enough for you.

But even if your computer uses a large hard drive and a powerful processor, and there is not enough RAM, there will be problems with performance. The average amount of RAM, which will satisfy most users, is 1024 MB.

Note. The recommendations given here are conditional and "average": someone needs a more powerful computer, and someone is quite satisfied with twice the lower characteristics. Much depends on what tasks the computer is used for.

1.3. Basic rules for working on a computer

The rules for working on a personal computer have long been formed on the basis of many years of experience in operating a PC. Every user should know them: it is necessary both to protect the computer from troubles, and to keep the information in it safe.

1. Make sure to install a reliable anti-virus program on your PC. Even if you do not use the World Wide Web, you can always pick up a virus from someone else's CD or DVD, from a local network, etc. From time to time you need to completely scan your computer for malware.

2. If you access the Internet, be sure to protect your computer with a firewall (probably many have heard this word - "firewall"). The most widespread Internet Explorer browser from Microsoft is protected by a standard firewall, but even not the most "advanced" hackers have long found loopholes in it. Therefore, use more reliable protection (for example, a good firewall - Zone Alarm, and it also has a free version that can be downloaded from the Internet).

3. Do not experiment with the contents of the system unit. If you need to somehow change the configuration of your computer, use the services of professionals (or, as a last resort, at least get an exhaustive consultation from them).

4. Provide a stable uninterrupted power supply. Please note that the quality of Russian electricity is far from the best (this is the legacy of the USSR - a similar problem exists in all countries of the former Soviet Union), so the computer must be protected from power surges, unexpected power outages, etc. A surge protector must be purchased in any case, or even better - do not spare money and buy an uninterruptible power supply.

5. If the computer has been in the cold for some time, then do not turn it on immediately after it is in a warm place, but be sure to let it stand for at least 1.5–2 hours.

6. Do not install the PC where it can overheat (near radiators, in direct sunlight, etc.).

7. Never launch icons and shortcuts that suddenly appear on the desktop and are unfamiliar to you (we will talk about what a desktop, an icon and a shortcut are below) - in such a simple way, malicious programs are often spread. If you find something similar in yourself, immediately scan your computer with a good antivirus (be sure - with updated and fresh antivirus databases).

8. Monitor the temperature conditions of the PC components. All regular fans should work, if any of them fails, it should be quickly repaired or replaced with serviceable ones. You can monitor the temperature regime using special utilities that can be found on the Internet.

9. Try to minimize the ingress of dust into the system unit. Not everyone knows that it can cause overheating of computer components, the disappearance of contacts and other similar problems. Try not to place the system unit on the floor, as there is always a lot of dust on the floor. From time to time (for example, once every six months) clean the system unit and remove accumulated debris from it (you can use a vacuum cleaner for this).

10. Shut down any work session correctly, using the normal shutdown mode (we'll talk about this in the next section).

Compliance with the listed rules will significantly extend the life of your computer and greatly increase its reliability.

1.4. How to properly turn on, turn off and restart your computer

Even such, at first glance, simple operations, such as turning on, turning off and restarting a computer, require certain knowledge from the user.

For example, turning on the computer (by pressing the corresponding button). Not all beginners know that before doing this, it is necessary to connect all the devices used to the system unit: monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. The fact is that they are recognized by the computer during the boot process of the operating system. Therefore, if you first turn on the computer, and only after that - connect a mouse or keyboard to it, they may remain unrecognized, therefore - their use will be impossible (or rather, you will have to reboot).

Let us remind once again that it is categorically not recommended to connect the computer directly to the electrical network, without a "buffer" in the form of a surge protector or an uninterruptible power supply. Otherwise, the slightest voltage surge will lead to a breakdown of the computer: the motherboard, power supply, etc. may fail. As a rule, repairs in such cases cost a lot of money. In addition, you risk losing data.

It is imperative to turn off the computer using the appropriate normal mode, after closing all running programs and open documents. On the menu Start need to choose a team Shutdown - as a result, the window shown in fig. 1.1.

Figure: 1.1. Shutting down the system

In this window, click the button Shutdown and wait for the system to shutdown. After that, you do not need to press any buttons - the computer will turn off automatically.

The need to restart the computer arises when installing or uninstalling some programs, when there are problems with performance (to put it simply, when "freezing"), and also in some other cases. Restarting is carried out in the same way as shutting down the computer - with the difference that in the window (see Fig. 1.1) you need to press the not button.

However, sometimes the computer freezes so much that even the menu Start does not open. In this case, the reboot is initiated by pressing a button specially designed for this, which is located on the system unit (it may have an inscription Reset).

Chapter 2. Getting Started with Windows XP Professional

Earlier we have already noted that to work on a computer, a special software product is required - an operating system. This book describes the most popular Windows operating system from Microsoft (Windows XP Professional version is considered).

The first thing that is displayed on the screen after booting the computer is the Windows user interface (Figure 2.1), which includes the following components: Desktop, Task bar and menu Start.

Figure: 2.1. Windows user interface

Menu Start opens by pressing the button of the same name, which is located in the lower left corner of the interface. Task bar is a strip along the entire lower border of the interface and includes icons, buttons for open applications, system clock, etc. The largest part of the user interface is Desktop - this is the entire screen area, except for the button Start and the taskbar.

2.1. Desktop

The desktop is decorated with a background image, over which application shortcuts and folder icons are displayed. In addition, right-clicking on the desktop brings up a context menu.

2.1.1. Desktop background

You can use files with one of the following extensions as a desktop background: bmp, gif, jpg, dib, png, or htm.

Note. A file extension is a set of characters characterizing its type, immediately following its name and separated from the file name by a period. To make it clearer, let's explain with specific examples: in the file List. doc extension - doc (it indicates that this document was created in Word), in the file Picture. bmp extension - bmp (by the way, this is one of the graphical extensions), etc.

By default, an image is offered as the desktop background, which is called Serenity (see figure 2.1). Note that the developers have included a number of graphic files in the operating system, and you can choose any of them to design your desktop. This is easy to do: right-click on the desktop, in the menu that opens, run the command Properties, and in the window that appears Properties: Screen select tab Desktop (fig. 2.2).

Figure: 2.2. Selecting an Image for the Wallpaper

In field Background picture a list of graphic files is presented, any of which can be used for design. To select a suitable image, select it in the list with the cursor and press the button Apply or OK... Above the list of images, a sample of how the desktop will look with the currently selected image is shown - this allows you to quickly view the entire contents of the list and select the most appropriate option. Please note: in fig. 2.2 a background image is selected in the list Serenity, with which the desktop is decorated in Fig. 2.1.

In principle, you can use any image to decorate your desktop (for example, a photo of your beloved lapdog, or a family photo, etc.) by adding it to the list and selecting it according to general rules. To perform this operation, use the button Overview, which is located to the right of the list (see Fig. 2.2). With its help, a window is called on the screen Overview (fig. 2.3).

Figure: 2.3. Selecting an arbitrary image

Here in the field Folder (at the top of the window) the path to the file of the required picture is indicated. Open the drop-down list, select a directory (if the image file is not in the root directory, then sequentially open all the folders on the path to it), then click on the required file and press the button Open.

As a result of the actions performed, the specified image will be added to the list of background images located in the window Properties: Screen in the tab Desktop... Moreover, the cursor is automatically positioned on it, and a sample of how the desktop will look will be displayed in the field located above (Fig. 2.4).

Figure: 2.4. Arbitrary image

Changes will take effect after clicking the button Apply or OK (fig. 2.5).

Figure: 2.5. Desktop decoration with an arbitrary image

In the same way, you can decorate the desktop with any pattern. The only condition is that its extension must correspond to one of those given at the beginning of the section.

2.1.2. Desktop icons and shortcuts

The main functional element of the Windows desktop is the icons and shortcuts located on it, designed for quick access to programs, files, documents and folders. You can install the necessary icons and shortcuts on the desktop yourself.

Note. Typically, the desktop displays shortcuts and icons for the most frequently used applications, files, and folders. In other cases, it is better to use Explorer (we will talk about it in more detail below) so as not to clutter up the desktop with rarely used elements.

After installing the operating system, the icon is displayed on the desktop by default Basket... It provides access to the trash bin with deleted files, folders and other objects. Periodically, you should delete all contents from the recycle bin so as not to store anything that you no longer need on your hard drive.

Note. If you need to immediately and permanently delete an object from the hard disk, bypassing the trash can, use the key combination Shift+Del.

Also, when installing Windows, the following icons and shortcuts can be automatically displayed on the desktop:

My computer - to access files, folders and documents stored on your computer.

My documents - this folder contains various current user documents (letters, reports, etc.).

My music - the folder is designed to store music and sound files.

My drawings - it is advisable to store digital photographs, drawings, graphic objects, etc. in this folder.

Greetings, dear blog visitors. As always, Dmitry Smirnov, the author of the sowing blog, is in touch with you. In this article I want to tell you about how to study a computer, actually how to learn how to work on a computer and what is needed for this!

Since the beginning of the 21st century, people have become much more active in using various kinds of technology. Most devices are extremely easy for a person to master, but as for computers, this is another more difficult question. The fastest way to master new computers and gadgets is children, and this happens because they do not fool themselves for a long time, reading various literature. Toddlers want to practically touch and press everything, and in the course of such research they learn what and how to do. Adults take this issue more seriously, they are afraid to experiment in order to avoid equipment breakdowns and other unpleasant moments. Every adult, and especially an elderly person, wants to learn how to learn how to work on a computer quickly and, most importantly, without financial investments. By the way, in the last article I wrote about

At first glance, the process of teaching computer literacy seems very difficult, older people consider this an unattainable goal for themselves. Opening the manual to this technical device, everyone immediately begins to get scared of the complex and incomprehensible terminology, but it turns out that it is not so scary.

If we consider in detail the auxiliary literature in the form of an application guide, you can figure out that the names and terms that are incomprehensible to humans denote a part of a computer or software. If a term is not clear in the instructions, you can always find a step-by-step guide with detailed explanations in the form of pictures.

When a person has figured out the instructions, turned on the computer, he needs to learn how to work on it - to print texts, run various programs, work on the Internet and deal with both the creation and storage of multimedia files.

The beginner can see the first clues directly on the monitor. Many icons and pictograms, due to their appearance, give a person a specific hint, an accurate indication of what is hidden behind them. For example, if an image of a note is visible on a small picture, a person will guess that he is dealing with a music player, and not with the settings menu. The same settings can be displayed on the wrench icon. This story repeats itself with almost all programs on the desktop.

When a person beginning to work with a computer figured out intuitively what image is hidden behind it, it is time to check it in practice. This raises the question of how to do this, because with so many buttons you don't always understand which one you need to press.

The keyboard is a good thing, but in this case you need to do without it. For this there is a computer mouse. To direct the cursor - an arrow to the desired object, you need to scroll the small wheel located on the mouse between the two buttons. By moving the cursor to the object that needs to be opened immediately on the monitor, you can see the name of the object or the text indicating its purpose.

In order to open the desired object, you must double-click on the mouse button located on the right side. After opening the program, many stop at this, not knowing how to work with it. But in reality it is not that difficult. Almost every program or game has a step-by-step explanation of how to use it.

The main condition in order to quickly master the nuances of computer literacy is to perform all actions independently without outside help. Having learned to work with software, many people cannot master the skills of printing for a very long time. In the beginning, it's hard to even find a letter on the keyboard. To quickly learn this, you do not need to read any literature or ask someone.

In order to learn how to type, there are online simulators that stimulate the observation of a person and are able to focus his attention on a specific object or symbol. This is done very quickly and a person, without noticing it, very quickly gets used to the keyboard layout, even though he knows where everything is. Thus, you can already safely type with two hands.

Now, there are many online training courses, but in most cases they are all paid. In order not to spend money on training from the Internet, you can download special applications absolutely free. Thanks to such small, simple programs, you can quickly learn how to work with the corresponding software, presentations, text documents and discover other exciting possibilities of the computer mechanism.

Thinking about how to learn how to work on a computer, you can come to the conclusion that this is quickly done with the help of screenshots - screenshots of the same computer, which shows what and how to do. A person sees a snapshot of the screen and the actions performed on it, thanks to this, he focuses on his computer and eats to do the same. If there is a reason to fear that your own actions will not be remembered, you can take a screenshot yourself - this is done by pressing a special button on the keyboard.

Working on a computer only at first glance seems difficult and incomprehensible, but in fact everything is extremely simple and you can get used to it very quickly. The main thing in the learning process is the availability of daily practical classes, because without them even the most understandable courses and programs will not be able to help anyone.

The younger generation very quickly masters computer technology due to their courage and willingness to experiment - this is exactly what older people lack and becomes a mechanism that slows them down.

Drawing conclusions in the topic of how to learn how to work on a computer, we can say the following - fast learning depends on a person's assertiveness and his readiness for new experiments. In life, almost always everything seems difficult and unattainable, but when you soberly assess the situation and approach the problem closer, it will turn out to be a funny little thing. This is the case with a computer - do not be afraid of complex terms and a large number of unfamiliar programs, if you open them all in turn and try to work in a couple of days, you can become a computer pro.

Now you know how to learn a computer!

The main task of the computer is to provide the user with the most efficient performance of the assigned tasks. Nowadays, in many jobs, you need to be able to own iron, but not everyone can cope with it. This article will provide a brief instruction on how to learn how to work on a computer for free.

You will need

• a computer;
• teaching aids;
• computer courses.

Instructions

• Learn to touch typing (ten-finger touch typing). In many cases, working at a computer is associated with typing, which is why it is important to type quickly, without looking at the keyboard. People who are proficient in this method can type over 300 characters per minute.
• Try to avoid the "typing method", this path is very tortuous: many programs cannot be understood intuitively.
• Make it a rule to read the built-in documentation for all distributions new to you. This way you can cut down on the time spent learning the software and be more productive.
• Memorize the combination of hot keys and then use them in your work. They exist in almost all software.
• It's worth optimizing your virtual workspace. On the desktop, you can bring shortcuts to those programs and folders that you use every day.
• Structure the data that is stored on your hard drive. Place text documents in some folders, photos in others, videos in a third. Make it so that it takes a minimum of time to find the information you need.
• If you realize that your computer skills are not very good, it is worth hiring a tutor or enrolling in computer literacy courses. So you can get rid of the need to study from books and quickly get the same amount of knowledge.

note

If you have managed to master the computer to the level of an ordinary user and want to study further, then you can learn from books, only you need to avoid materials for beginners, because then you will have to filter out more unnecessary information. Give preference to books for advanced users or professionals.

Do not be afraid to bring a virus into your computer or break it, constantly study unknown computer functions. Confidence is only half the battle.

If you decide to find a tutor or sign up for computer literacy courses, you do not need to rely on them for everything: you should always take the initiative. Otherwise, you will automatically always wait for advice, and the necessary information will be more difficult to remember.

Video lessons

• Hello Eugene! Yours faithfully, Oleg, one of the many who purchased a video course, which in essence, step by step, transforms a student from a mouse truck to, as you put it, an advanced user without five minutes. At my age, many are no longer able to master it due to a number of reasons, but since, thanks to you, I am burning with desire, I am slowly, little by little doing it. Thanks for the school. Completed my homework and will move on. As they say, the quieter you go will be. P.S: I ask you to write off possible grammatical errors, because just a driver Oleg Isaikin from St. Petersburg

• Eugene, good afternoon! I briefly reviewed the beginning of the video course, I have already found a lot of new things for myself. Now the work is connected with business trips, so there is no way to understand it yet. I want to tell you that you are a fine fellow! These are very useful discs. In our provinces, qualified assistance is not available everywhere. Best wishes, good luck and good luck. Galina Anatolyevna Khor village of the Khabarovsk Territory

• Forgive me, please, Evgeny, but I thought I told you. I received the video course before the holiday. Thank you very much! The video course turned out to be a salvation for me, it helps a lot to master the laptop. I'm very grateful to you. I congratulate you on the new year, as well as Merry Christmas! Lyudmila Nikolaevna Naumova Malaga, Spain

• Hello Evgeny! This letter came to me automatically. You probably remember that just before the vacation, a parcel was sent to Tashkent. The parcel arrived in perfect condition. Thank you so much for the discount and fast shipping. I am already working on your disks. I really like the manner in which you presented the material and detailed explanations of even the smallest details. Thanks again for the work. You have succeeded in this work. All the best, with respect, Vladimir Alexandrovich Subbotin from Tashkent

• Hello Evgeny Alexandrovich! Thank you, I like everything, I don't understand everything as quickly as I would like, but I will definitely master everything. I am 61 years old, I have never approached a laptop and now I made up my mind. Many incomprehensible words. I look through the course several times. I will definitely learn. Thank you for such literate and simple people to help us, you are a very good mentor. Lyubov Alekseevna Mironova from Moscow

• I am a beginner pc user. I got the disk "ABC of a computer and laptop" and was not mistaken, made the right choice. The disc came out within a week despite the fact that there were holidays. At the moment I am still studying and have not mastered the whole course. But there is already progress. Previously, if I wanted to do something on a PC, I did it by "typing", and now, after several sessions, I am more confident in working with a computer. Friends saw that I was no longer afraid to work with a computer as before, and were very surprised by my knowledge. She showed the disk, they really liked it. They also wanted this CD, so I ordered another set. P.S. Thank you very much! Your lessons are clear and not difficult for novice users like me. I advise everyone to start acquaintance with the computer with these lessons! Yulia Denisova from Tula

• Hello, dear Evgeny Alexandrovich! I looked at your video course with pleasure and would like to respond to your appeal in the "Feedback" section. I have just become akin to your voice, and you have become almost a member of our family! My husband makes fun of me when he sees me at the computer, but it became obvious to me that in some matters I can already give him advice, he comprehends everything by "typing". Of course, I'm not very deluded about my own account, but the main thing is that there is no fear: if I have questions, I can also search the Internet for information. It is very noticeable that your popularity on the Internet has grown dramatically since the first time I stumbled upon the link of your video course there in November 2011. I am very glad to meet you. In a couple of months I learned a lot and learned a lot. I move slowly, but I feel more and more confident thanks to your lessons. I wish you every success and a worthy assessment of your work! Molokina Lydia Filippovna Moscow

• Eugene. I am very grateful to YOU. It was this knowledge, obtained with the help of the VIDEO TOOL and YOUR letters, that I lacked. Now I don’t ask ANYONE any questions about using a computer and I don’t hear such expressions like: GRANDMA WOULD LONGER REMEMBER.

• The video course "The ABC of a Computer and a Laptop" is a useful cycle of video lessons, both for beginners, to get acquainted with a PC, and for more advanced users. I want to note: I used the first two points for my relatives who were visiting us and all the time asking us to explain something. I sat them down at the computer, included video tutorials - a basic course and 2 hours are free! By profession I am a teacher at the Perm Medical College. For all novice students and my colleagues to learn how to work in Word - it couldn't be better - it is accessible, visual and very understandable. And, please, at least you can write an abstract, at least tests - you are already advanced users. Thank you Eugene. We are waiting for your new training materials! Svetlana Agafonova from Perm

• Eugene, hello! My name is Tatiana Vasilievna. I am less than two months old. I am a pensioner. Former teacher. Life goes on and you want to live, live interestingly, keeping up with the times. Interest in the computer appeared for a long time. There was no financial opportunity to purchase this item. But I still went to computer courses. Free for retirees. Got basic knowledge of working in "Word 2003", did not even touch the Internet. And knowledge was very much needed, tk. a computer appeared, and I wanted to communicate with my daughter on "Skype" in order to save money and be able to see each other. I climbed the Internet, searched, hoped for luck. And now luck smiled at me. I saw a message that you can quickly learn computer literacy! Cool!!! I read it. I decided: I order discs. They arrived by mail quickly, without any delay. And now I am happy to study everything that is there. Everything is extremely clear and precise. There was new knowledge of what seemed to be known. Everything has become simpler and more accessible. Thanks. Tatiana Vasilievna Penza
