When you are browsing the World Wide
Web, you are using the telephone and that is costing you normal
telephone costs. If you school is far from the Internet provider
that your school is using, these costs could be quite high. Here
are some hints to help you save the amount of time you spend
online. Saving time online is saving money.
1. Saving information to disk
Instead of reading long documents while
online, glance through it quickly and if it looks even slightly
useful to you, save it to your local storage disk. Note that
it will not save you much in terms of costs to print the document,
since printing also costs money. Once you have saved it, you
can read it offline once you have ended the Internet connection.
This is how you do it: Click on the File
Menu
Click on Save As File
This will be Save As
in newer versions of IE.
In newer versions of IE (IE 5) you will
find that the text and the images save. Read the saved file
in IE. In older versions only the text will save.
2.
Saving online favourites
If the web site only has value
when seen online (as opposed to reading the content offline)
you can save it as a Favourite. This will help you to return
to the web site with one click once you are online again on
another occasion. Favourites are saved on the local computer
where you are browsing. Therefore, if you are on a network
in a computer room, you would have to sit at the same computer
to be able to recall your favourites. This is how you save
favourites:
Click on the 
icon.
Click on  button
or click on Favorites
and Add to Favorites
In order to use the favourite
at a later date, simply click on the Favorite icon or menu
and click on the description of the favourite in the list
that appears in the pop-up screen. |
