COMPUTERBUGS HELP SECTION

Do you have computer questions?

Q & A sessions are held at our meetings.  Bring your questions to COMPUTERBUGS and we'll do our best to have the answers for you.
You can also find helpful web sites on the COMPUTERBUGS favorite links section.

How do I read my e-mail when away from home?
The answer is the same whether you connect to the internet via dial-up, by cable, or DSL.  You just need access to a computer.  Most Service Provides offer a means to read your e-mail from their front page.  Start Internet Explorer and type in the address (URL) for your Internet Service Provider (ISP), click on the Web-Mail link, enter your ID and password, and read your mail.  The messages will stay on the server until you either delete them or read them when you get home.
