Browsers
If you are having a site built, remember to click reload or
refresh when viewing your site so that you are not viewing a cached page.
Back in the late 1990s Microsoft won the browser wars relegating Netscape
to history. In recent years several new contenders have emerged including
Opera, Firefox and Google's Chrome. Your site may look slightly different
in each of these.
Email
My personal preference is Thunderbird, but many business professionals
use MS Outlook.

Zip files
These are archived files - groups of files squeezed together into one
large file in such a manner that the whole is much small than the sum of
it's parts, making for faster transmission over the net. Some are self-extracting,
others require the appropriate decompression software, the most popular
of which is WinZip. You can get a copy of this from any of the software
repositories on the net, and there are probably several excellent open
source programs - Winrar would be worth a look.
Saving a Page to File
In Internet Explorer, top left corner click File > Save As >
then choose a location to save it, preferably a directory (folder)
which you access frequently and in which you keep your working files, for
instance c:/work
under file name change it to something short, ie boxer
under Save as type select Webpage, HTML only
Encoding: Western European (should be default)
Click Save
There is a similar routine in Firefox, and probably in Chrome.
