I will learn more about my computer.

I will learn more about Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, even if I don't use them frequently.
I will ask a friend for help in learning more about how to use my computer safely.
I will learn to search Google for help as my first step in solving a problem.
I will help a friend learn how to use their computer.
I will help a friend learn how to use their computer more safely.
I will learn new tricks and tips for using Windows itself.
I will try new things in Windows and with my software — without having a book or a friend tell me what to do.
I will learn more about my computer's hardware.
I will buy an external hard drive so that I can create a backup that I will store AWAY from my computer.
I will email my new friends and my old friends.
I will not use email "stationery" no matter how cute it looks.
I will keep current versions of anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and anti-spam programs running on my computer — and I will keep them updated automatically.
I will use a router to help protect my home computer(s) from attacks via the Internet, even if I don't have a network and only have one computer.
I will try Firefox or Opera or Chrome to surf the web instead of always using Internet Explorer.
I will look for a local computer users group (computer club) to learn more about my computer, Windows and the software I use.
