E-mail Account:

1. From the Lab computers, double click on Your Web Browser to open the application.

2. Click on the Location section above the main screen.

3. Type in www.hotmail.com and hit the enter key to go there.

4. Click on the link labeled: Sign Up Now!

5. Fill out the information on the form. Scroll down and fill in all the required sections. Whatever you don't want to tell them, make it up!

6. Scroll the screen down to the bottom and click on I Accept.

7. For your e-mail ID and password, keep trying if at first it says it is a duplicate of someone else's. There are a lot of e-mail accounts out there!

8. Once you get into the system, there will be links to read your inbox, compose (send) outgoing mail, etc. Try mailing something to yourself, and see how long it takes to show up. Click “Check Mail” to see if you got a new message.

9. After you have set up an account, from then on you can go to www.hotmail.com and sign in and by typing in your user name and password (don't forget them) you will then be able to access your e-mail.

10. Now, search the web and find a good price for a Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz Processor. Find the chip ONLY for sale, not a whole computer system. A good price would be about $200. Copy and paste the link to that page into an e-mail message. NOTE: Make sure your REAL full name is in the subject portion of the e-mail you send me! Also Note: It must come from hotmail.com, or you will not get credit.

Send your message to: LarsonHomework@hotmail.com
