Practical Computer Tips
Free E-mail from juno.com
You don't need it, but you know someone who does
- You aren't allowed to use this connection for mass market mailings--but spam is a mass discourtesy anyway
- You do have to put up with some advertising--but, hey, AOL charges you $20/month to put up with a lot more.
- You may someday get kicked off, but it looks large and financially stable right now
We need your suggestions on this. We're thinking about producing a User's Handbook for Juno E-mail.Such users need a very basic handbook that will walk them through the screens and serve as a ready reference-reminder in case they don't use it very frequently; or tells them how to get back where they were in case they accidentally clicked the wrong button. This book would include screenshots and basic instructions for setting up and navigating, troubleshooting hints and Frequently Asked Questions. It would not be a highly technical book. It would be bundled with a CD ROM with the latest Juno software and would cost about $10 plus postage. There is a pretty good book on Juno available now, titled, strangely
enough "Juno", by Bob Rankin. This is an excellent book for someone who
wants to get into it further than simple e-mail. You might want to take
a look at it. Now comes your part--do you think a simple book like the one
I described would be useful? Would it sell well over the internet?
What would be important to cover? (Remember, we need to keep it simple
so it's easy to find things in it) Could it be marketed with a pretty good
quantity discount to Seniors' groups? Where else?
If we do it, we'll give a 50% discount certificate for the book to anyone
who contributes suggestions at this stage. Even if we don't do it,
we'll give a 20% discount coupon for our other books to anyone who sends
suggestions. You can see a list of our current books at sciencehumanitiespress.com

- You obviously already have a connection. Otherwise, you wouldn't be
here reading this. However, you probably have friends who don't and you
wish they did. Virtually all computers being sold now have modems. I know
numerous people who should at least have E-mail, but don't because they
don't have the temperament to spend a lot of time using a $20 per month
connection. With juno, your friend doesn't have to become a computer jock
just to use E-mail.
juno.com offers a free E-mail connection that is very straightforward, easy to use and only connects to send and receive messages. The only cost is that you are exposed to a few advertising messages. Most locations (95%) have local numbers to connect, but even if your friend is in the boonies, the connection times are so short it wouldn't cost much for long distance.
There are some limitations--The new Full service Juno allows a lot more:
