------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 5, 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the first week of class it is extremely important that you get your computer account for the class and login. Also, if you are new to computers, read all of the COM1 section from the text book. Even if you are familiar with computers, you can benefit from Pages COM17 to COM22 on Communication and Networks. Finally, be sure to attend the weekly lab sessions regularly. That is where you will really learn the computer operations. I will spend very little class time on the mechanics of computer commands. You are expected to learn them on your own, with the help of the TAs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
