Beginner Guide to Microsoft Windows95/98 and the Internet

 

This material was produced as part of the Women Working Together: Networks4Networks project funded in 1999/2000 by the NSW Department for Women.
The project was initiated by Drummoyne Community Centre Inc. in partnership with Lizzard MacFlynn Pty Ltd. It consisted of training women volunteers in using the Internet. The volunteers then tutored women in their own homes in Windows basics, using the World Wide Web, Email and Chat Rooms.
Thank you to OzEmail for their assistance in providing the startup NetPac kits.
