Computers 4 Beginners

[JediMaster]

Anyone know of Good FREE sites that teach Computers to beginners ?

My Nephew needs a starting point...

Like:

Word,
File Management,
Saving
EMAIL
Internet

In my experience this is all thats needed Experience, if you find some software you would really like to learn more on, try google + thesoftware + help or + tutorial
Pcworld often have books @ upto 50% disctount on.

And if your nephew is young you may like to restrict his internet with authorised sites only. Agnitum outpost is a nice simple firewall to use, has easy to setup rules per application and the settings can be password protected.

Thanks for that.. But I was just looking for a Online Tutorial for Basic stuff. His internet is restricted...

I could get books. But I hate reading & I learn more by doing it on the PC. So I am sure he will feel the same.

Anyone here with Links?

I think Russ wanted this sort of thing for his Mum/Dad at one time. But I cant find the Post?

I haven't been able to find any particularly good sites, but http://www.learnthat.com/courses/computer/default.asp is a reasonable page and may help with some m$ word or winXP basics.

I think that thread might have been on .com

I seem to recall recommending the 'Bootcamp' series at the Telegraph site

Go to: http://www.telegraph.co.uk scroll all the way down the page to the link for 'Connected' and follow the link to 'Bootcamp'

Your Nephew will need to register at the site to access the Bootcamp Archives, but its a very good series of How To/FAQ/links on all things PC/net etc.
