This site will contain descriptions of facilities and availability, hardware descriptions, listings of available software, introductions to computer applications, and tutorials on selected software.

If you just want to find out what is available at CSUB or how to use it, this may be the place for you. If you are taking GS390 are another class using these tutorials be sure and find out what you will be expected to cover since no single class would use all the material at this site.

Tutorials may be used by:

• Printing the tutorial to read or for reference (in Netscape just click once on the tutorial frame then choose Print Frame... from the File menu and then in the dialog button that opens, click the "Print" button.
or
• Using the tutorial frame as an on screen guide for an application. This can be done by running the tutorial in the background and going  between the application and the application (use <Alt> <Tab> shortcut] are by making the tutorial window a single very narrow window and running it beside the application. To place a tutorial in a single window:
• On the lab Macs
1. place the mouse cursor in the frame
2. click and hold the mouse button. Choose New Window with this Frame
3. drag the bottom right corner of the page to an acceptable width
4. move the window to one side of your monitor screen
5. move the window to one side of your monitor screen by placing the mouse on the title bar and dragging the window to one side of your monitor screen
• On the Lab PCs
1. place the mouse cursor in the frame
2. click the right mouse button mouse button. Choose Open Frame in New Window
3. drag the bottom right corner of the page to an acceptable width
4. move the window to one side of your monitor screen by placing the mouse on the title bar and dragging the window to one side of your monitor screen
This site is dynamic and changes to meet changes in the CSUB labs. Work will be continued to fill out the categories in the Menu outline. At this time an asterisk indicates that the links are not currently operative. Current commonly used operating systems* (Windows and Mac Finder) change every 3-5 years while application updates occur from 3 months (browsers) to 2 years are more. Future changes will be made to keep the information current with CSUB's labs.

Have fun and please send any suggestions that would improve the material are structure of this site.

NOTES:
The two most used operating systems are Windows (on IBM PCs) and Mac OS (on Macintoshes). Purists, however, will insist that neither of these is any good, that the only real operating system is Unix! :) (Unix is a multi-user operating system often used on workstations and larger computers. It is known for its elegance. The newest version of Unix is Linux.  We hope in the near future to add tutorials on Linux at this site.)
