Online Tutorials Build Computer Skills - FREE

It's a problem as old as computers...
Trying to read, understand, and use a software manual to quickly learn how to operate a new software program rates one of the most frustrating experiences you can face.
If you browse the computer section of the local book store, Amazon.com... or even look at a Video Professor disk on TV to try accelerating your learning curve, you'll soon find that a book (usually thicker than the original manual!) costs at least $29-59 and a simple tutorial on CD-Rom costs a minimum of $59 plus shipping and handling.
Learning how to operate you computer and basic software can be very frustrating, not to mention expensive!
But what most people don't realize is that basic computer, software, and other training is readily available online, some of it as good or better than those introductory courses that cost you a chunk of money.
Would you like to learn how to set up a web page?
Do you want to learn how to use your word processor for accomplishing more than just typing simple letters?
How about learning to buy and sell like a pro at online auction sites like eBay?

Want to learn how to use Microsoft FrontPage?
Do a quick search for "FrontPage" and up pops a number of free tutorials to teach you everything from creating basic hyperlinks to working with javascript.
Though not all the tutorials are free, many of the tutorials listed come free of charge since the sites hosting the classes contain the usual advertising most of us have come to expect online.
After plowing through the site, you'll find some categories contain more available classes than others, but this site rates a serious look and a bookmark so you can check back on a regular basis.
Investigate here first before spending money on training, especially for introductory software help and general computer instruction.

If you want a free "basic training" on eBay, start with eBay's site, then move on to third party information products if you want to expand your education.
