Notes de l'éditeur
- Neat things you can do on the Internet is a presentation developed by Jim and Shirley White to give as part of a class at the Socastee Library, Horry County SC. There are hyperlinks associated with almost all of the icons, click on them and you will be taken to the associated web site. The class is intended for folks who have made relatively little use of the WWW and are interested in learning how useful it can be on a day by day basis in many different life situation.
- Looking for ideas on how to clean a spill or a stain?You have the urge to redecorate a room, but need ideas for beginning this new project. Do you want to look at paint colors or wallpaper? It’s easy! See the Benjamin Moore link or the Better Homes and Garden (BHG) link.Most appliance manuals are available online. Appliance repair information can be found by typing the make and model of your appliance into the Google search box. If that does not work, go to the manufacturers web site, navigate your way to information on your model, click on support and/or user manual. Every site is different, you will have to hunt around but the information is there. There are also lists of repairman in your area. It is always best to consult a friend or neighbor for recommendations. Read reviews from clients before you call a repairman you don’t know.
