Admittedly, the the more exotic centers of virtual culture have a steep
|
||
|
|
learning curve. There are plenty of places, however, that require hardly
|
||
|
|
any excess knowledge at all. Fortunately, a plethora of manuals, books and
|
||
|
|
FAQs (Frequently Asked Question lists) exist to help you through your
|
||
|
|
troubled times.

So, you say, I've got this wonderful Internet access setup at work or
|
||
|
|
school... what happens when I graduate or lose my job? Or perhaps you've
|
||
|
|
got a friend who is moving to the otherside of the continent. Is there a
|
||
|
|
way for you to remain in contact over email? Fortunately, there are easy
|
||
|
|
answers to these queries.
