Can you use your computer system now that you
have it?

• Today, computer systems come with written manuals
  and disk files that help you set everything up.
  A brochure with accurate and detailed drawings
  will help you plug it together.
• The installation process is conveniently on disk.
• Also included is a users guide, which is used as
  a reference guide.
• Software tutorials come with the computer and are
  located on a separate disk or CD-Rom.
• In addition to the help provided by the tutorials
  and the users guide, numerous books and magazines
  are also a good way to teach yourself more about
  using the computer.
• Hands-on learning may be the most effective way
  to help yourself with computers, like taking
  classes at a computer store, local college, or
  adult-education program at a local high school.

Decide how to use it! Deciding what you will use
your computer for is all up to you. If you want
to store lots of photographs or MP3 files, then
you will need a big hard drive. If multimedia
work is what you seek, then you also seek a good
video card, a DVD drive, and substantial memory.
If you plan to connect a bunch of peripherals,
such as printers, scanners, digital cameras, and
so-on.
