By golly though, they don't half throw you in at the deep end. I received a box of twenty CDs, all with codes such as 93040d and f754599 but no paperwork. My guess is the introduction for the course is figuring out where to start.
I picked a CD at random (OK, I picked it because its packaging was a slightly different shade of yellow than the others) and it just happened to be the foundation module. Score one! This is going to be easy.
Things weren't to be quite as complicated as they first appeared, however. Favourite quotes from the course so far:-
"More than one computer connected together can form a network."
"A network over a local area, such as an office, is a local area network, or LAN. An network over a wider area, is a wide area network or WAN."
"P2P networks can sometimes be used for illegitimate purposes."
"A network over a local area, such as an office, is a local area network, or LAN. An network over a wider area, is a wide area network or WAN."
"P2P networks can sometimes be used for illegitimate purposes."
Granted, I've only just started on the foundation level, and without a doubt I'm sure that this will get very quickly over my head. Right now though, I'm mighty glad I didn't pay for this course myself.

Hahaha, superb, I guess you they don't want to run before walking LOL.
How cool to get a course on CD though, now that's the future... They'll be linking together computers from all over the world soon and calling the Internet or some other buzz world like the web... Nah, it'll never happen :0)
It's amazing what they can do these days, isn't it? My parents even have this little box in the corner of the room through which they can watch people. I reckon it's just pictures drawn by very quick gnomes though.
Wow! not so fast, can gou run through that again whilst I get a crayon to make some notes
Don't give him anything sharp...
