This class is more informal, it is Friday after all. We will be asking and answering questions like “How do I ??? on my computer?”
Sharing Internet Connection (google for “how to share my windows internet connection”)
Controlling 2 computers with same mouse and keyboard: VNC and win2vnc (I like TightVNC on computer to control, win2vnc on computer doing controlling)
If you need an office suite, you can use openoffice.org/
Gimp is a better image manipulation program than paint.
PDF – usually viewed with Adobe Acrobat, can be created with OpenOffice program. You can even upload your finished PDF to lulu.com and have it printed as a normal book.
open Windows Explorer (not internet explorer) and use a location/url like ftp://username@domain.com/ and it will ask you for a password and when you are logged in you can drag and drop files from your desktop, from other windows explorer file windows, etc.
As always, the class will be recorded and the recording will be available here soon after class is over.
