My name is Dave. I'll be your tour guide. Are you ready to get rolling? There's a lot for you to learn here. Take it one chapter at a time, and you'll do just fine.I've been using the Internet since 1995, which makes me pretty well... ancient. But there was a time that I was new, too. I hope I can pass on to you the information I've learned over the years. You may be a little scared of the Internet -- or you might be excited to finally be online! Either way, you've come to the right place. Are you ready to learn? Sit back and relax. This isn't going to hurt as much as you may think.

Caution: Be careful when reading e-mail. Most
email that looks
like its from a bank, credit card company, mortgage company, eBay, PayPal,
etc, is actually a criminal trying to rip you off or steal your
info.
To stay safe, NEVER click links in an e-mail message that
takes you to a page that asks for ANY INFORMATION from you. Instead,
go directly to the site. For example, if you want to check on your eBay
account, open your web brower and type www.ebay.com. If you'd like
to learn more about protecting yourself from this crime, go to Google
and search for "phishing."
