The top five list on how to get started with computers. And as I read this list I want you to keep one thing in mind. Tom is 12 years old, keep that in mind.
How to get started in computers? If you do not know how to complete a task on your computer that you want to complete, just remember that your computer cannot bite. This is one of the most common problems I see at school when my peers come and ask me for help. Because the teacher is unavailable, they are frightened that intervention may cause a larger issue.
Try fixing the issue yourself. For example, if the PC will not connect to the network check all the cables. Number two, do not just click around randomly. Everyone knows about Google, type in a few key words. If you do not have any joy, try Microsoft help online or for Mac users try apple.com or for that matter, if you are looking for any other advice or further help, try live.pirillio.com where you can find us or help.lockernum.com
Number three, please do not freak out. That is the last thing that it is going to help you. Number four, if all the possible suggestions above are used and produced no solution, try asking a local geek. Go in the computer store and see what they recommend or in the case of OS 10 or apple go into an apple store and talk to a genius. That is what the apple store technicians call themselves. Do not worry if it is just a small problem. Always remember that they are paid to try to help anyone and everyone has questions, everyone, myself included. No matter how small or large the issue maybe, you will never going to know unless you ask.
Number five, when you found the answer to your problem or question, try and learn about what the problem is caused by and what fixed the problem. This way, you will be able to help others if they ever have the same problem or similar one to the one that you had.
Hope these tips would be of some use to the rest of the community. Thanks Chris, Tom.
