Hello all -

>       I'm passing along some free software-training sites. Some may
> require Downloading cookies or players, so may not be allowable at work,
> but you may want to try them at home.
>
>       Ziff-Davis University has a whole bunch of self-study tutorials and
> instructor-led programs which are either free or very low cost" at
> http://www.smartplanet.com/learn.asp .  They have many computer and
> internet courses.  You can try out the free ones and decide if you want to
> purchase any.
>       "I am very pleased with the Ziff-Davis training site.  This is an
> excellent resource and I think may be used quite a bit."
>
>       There is a London site - http://www.freeskills.co.uk which claims it
> offers more free training than any site on the web.  You have to agree to
> allow a cookie on your machine before using. They cover the MS Office
> products, UNIX, Corel, Lotus, Macintosh,
>       Novell programming, Internet, Visio, DTP, ACT and QuarkExpress.  You
> need an Acrobat reader to view the training, which they offer free.  The
> courses may be slow on a standard modem.
>       "The London site may have a lot of information to provide, however,
> it was not really a training site, but more of a resource to learn more by
> reading about topics.  It doesn't provide any assignments and hands-on
> tasks.  But I think it can still be helpful. "
>
>       Another site - http://www.pcshowandtell.com  requires the download
> of a player they warn is " high risk".  I have not tried this one.
>       "This site is not really a training site at all, but a knowledge
> repository of frequently asked questions.  Again, it may be helpful."
