Microsoft Windows 98 User Advanced
Course Aims
With the proliferation of PC's there are now many types of user from the traditional stand alone user to networked users, on-line users, remote users or traveling users and to multimedia PC users. Often a person can fall into several of these categories. Windows 98 was designed and built to service all these different uses. By the end of this course readers will be able to appreciate and use the different components of Windows 98 to enable them to become an advanced or power user in line with their business needs. |
Assumed Knowledge
A good understanding of PC and Windows 98 gained from attendance on a "Windows 98 User Introduction" or "Windows 3.x to Windows 98 Conversion" course or from past experience. A basic familiarity with networking would be advantageous. |
Course Audience
Experienced MS Windows 98 users who operate networked PCs, utilise a modem and have access to a sound card and an MSN subscription and thus want to get the most out of this fully featured operating system. This is not a conversion course for MS Windows 3.x or Windows 95 users.. |
