Sweet, thanks!

Whata re these exactly, do you just read the lessons, or are there tests or other things to do? If all you do is read the lessons then how can a class be full?

Thanks for the note. I signed up for XP Upgrade. I have an old Win98 machine, just fast and new enough. Windows update site stopped updating my computer, this ismy only option.

I still have 98se and I was missing updates for awhile, too, but I finally got this fixed. PM me if you need assistance, or just search Microsoft.com for info on the error code you are receiving.

Oh...and thanks. I just registered for the Firewall class.

 

[spankyj]

Me too - thanks.

If only the web page builder class wasn't full. I guess I'll continue to check and hope that another opens up.

 

[Johneverd]

Wow, either the site is being hammered or it is currently down.

 

[yoandy]

Bump for new April classes.

 

[stndn]

signed up for firewall basic... thank you much -)
still thinking whether i should take wireless class or not, cause i have too many classes going on this quarter ><;;

the classes are fairly easy on your time, takes anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. Like any class, you get out of it what you put into it. Im in 3 classes now, the firewall class, advanced ps, and advanced word. You are not going to learn to use these things outright, but you can get a nice perspective on the topics, and can pick up some good info. For free, the quality in the 3 classes has been much more than i expected. I am impressed and recommend people to get in on something that interests them.

 

[Dacus]

Thanks, I signed up for 4.
