Take MAIN's "Web Intro" workshop 

MAIN volunteer Scott Reese will conduct an introduction to the Internet workshop at the Hot Springs Elementary School Learning Center Feb. 23 from 3-8 p.m. (snow date: Feb. 24).

Coming from a background of pioneering Elektra Records' and Sony Records' Internet departments, Scott now runs his own web-authoring business, RESON8, which focuses on marketing alternative record labels.

Whether it's your web-navigation skills that could use a little sharpening or your email that could use some sorting out, we encourage you to register early as space is limited. Sign up via email or call 828-255-0182.

If leaving a voice message or sending an e-mail, please be sure to include the following information:

  • Name
  • Daytime phone number
  • Primary email address
  • Are you a MAIN subscriber?
  • Are you willing to volunteer?

  • Internet Overview – what the Internet is, what it’s not, how it works, and what it can do for you; privacy issues; the difference between the Net and member-only areas like those of AOL and Compuserve.
  • Email Management – setting up multiple users/accounts; sorting/filtering; address book management; free email accounts on the web; how to open attachments and when not to; and a brief discussion of the pros and cons of the major email applications.
  • Web Browser Tour – including explanation of toolbars, filters, preferences, and a brief discussion of the pros and cons of the major browsers.
  • Navigating the Net – search engines vs. online databases, search techniques, online chat & discussion boards, plug-ins vs. helper applications, and more.
