I may have finally found the site I've been looking for for a long time, a site that assists newbies where they can learn the basic functions of their computers without having to upgrade to anything. The Newbie Club site is free to join with no upgrades unless you want to buy some of their software or e-books. Everything else is free, the site is squeaky clean with no viruses, I haven't had any problems with my computer since I joined. Some of the things you'll learn are as follows:
1. Newbie Club products and courses are being used by people and companies in 107 countries.
2. Windows XP for newbies
3. E-Mail for newbies
4. First website builder course
5. MS Word Magic
6. Keyboard Magic
7. Newbie club guestbook
8. No techie talk that seems to talk down to you
9. Free tutorials
10. E-books in plain English not gibberish
I suggest this for newbies and pro's alike because the Internet is moving at blinding speed and none of us are immune from getting left behind.
