Getting Started - PC

To get started on the Internet you need a computer. For Internet use this is most likely to be an IBM-PC compatible.

Basic requirements are -

• Processor suitable for running Microsoft Windows - today this would be 486 or Pentium based, at least 8Mbytes of RAM, VGA screen, as large a disk as you can afford, and a printer.
• A Modem - as high a speed as you can afford.
• Learning time - how much is up to you, but you must sow to reap
• Although Internet access is possible with a smaller / older computer than this, you would probably feel the need to upgrade soon.
