1.2 Windows

You are not required to use Windows in this class. You can use Mac OS (on a Machintosh), Linux (on any machine), FreeBSD (on any machine) or any operating system that allows you to connect to the internet. However, let's face it, Windows is what most people use.

This is not CISC 300 (computer familiarization) or CISC 320 (operating system). We only need to review enough operating system concepts to get you started with Internet related applications. If you have trouble keeping up with the class, please come see me during my office hours, or you may want to consider taking CISC 300. If you feel that you want to know more about Windows, please consider taking CISC 320.

Instead of focusing on Windows techniques here, I'll distribute discussions of Windows operations throughout the notes.
