Also, if you are not on AOL, sign up for it.
Not because it's the best... but... because it's the most
widely used. That way, if you and I are ever discussing
something to do with computers, I can say, "See that quote icon on the top of your tool bar? I want you to
click on that." It's like, if I were teaching you
trigonometry by phone, we'd both be needing to use the same
textbook so I could say in effect, "Turn
to page 318 and read paragraph three."

IMPORTANT NOTE: AOL has an 800 number you can
use to access the service for $6.00 an hour. I nearly always
use it. It's never clogged up because PC users, by and large,
are too moronically cheap to pay the fee. They'll waste hours
staring at that stupid blue triangle going round and round
but, they won't shell out the few extra fungolas to drive on
the turnpike.

Should you use AOL's 800#? (By the way, it's
1-800-716-0023.) I don't know. I guess it all depends how much
your time is worth. If your time ain't worth six bucks an
hour, stay on your slow-assed, clogged-up, local telephone
line.

RAM: Get as much of it as your computer will
take. RAM (Random Access Memory) is crucial to making your
computer work efficiently. It fits into slots inside your
computer and it looks like the reeds of a harmonica when you
remove the outside plates. RAM is cheap. You can get more of
it (and have it installed) at almost any computer store.

Pig out on it. Jam as much RAM as you can into
your machine.

Finally, if you don't already have a computer
and you're looking to get one, do
not shop for a bargain. Choose between a Gateway GP6-333
($1,799), a Dell XPR 350 or the top-of-the-line Compaq or IBM.
You also may want to consider an NEC Direction SPB 400, with a
400 MHz Intel Pentium II chip, a 6.4 GB hard drive, 17-inch
monitor and 56K modem.
