How To's:
Chat & Instant
Messaging One of the building blocks of the
Internet, chat continues to evolve and change in new and interesting ways offering users
like us new functionality and new ways to create communities in cyberspace.
Downloading One of the coolest things about Road Runner is the speed of
downloads. Computer and Web veterans can stop here.
Email Netiquette As crazed as it may sometimes appear, the Internet does have rules
of conduct. These informal rules, called Netiquette were developed when the web was
young and most communication was done in text forums and e-mail.
HTML So you want a web page, but you don't know how to go about it.
Chances are you have everything you need to get started right there on your computer right
now.
Net Safety The Internet has much to offer you and your
children, but the trouble is getting the informative and fun stuff without the adult
content. The Internet can help your children with homework, allow your kids to meet other
children on-line, let them explore new things, and it allows them to publish their ideas
on the web.
