Archived Articles: 1998 PC Training Course Notes
Back in 1998 we ran a training course called "Using Personal Computers" at Tewkesbury Baptist Church. Most of the material concentrated on Windows 95, then the most popular operating system. However, much of it is relevant for other versions of Windows, so we've left the notes on-line.
The notes for this course are available here. You may either view them online using the links below, or download a zip file containing the original notes (in Microsoft Word 95 format, unfortunately) for offline viewing. The notes are in the form of a slide presentation plus accompanying text, and the slide images are clearer in the downloadable versions.
