When you are connected to a network, do NOT use the Windows Suspend or Stand by command,
because you may lose access to the network when you turn on the computer again.
Accessing the Internet
The Internet is a network of computer networks located all around the world. To access it, you
must have an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You access the Internet using a special program called a browser. Although your operating system
most likely comes with a browser, you can install and use any commercially available browser.

Turning off the computer
It is a good idea to turn off the computer when you will not use it for a while.
q Use the Sleep button to power down major components without shutting down the
computer. To resume work, press the Sleep button again.
q If you have work in progress and expect to resume shortly, you can use the Suspend
command (if your Microsoft operating system includes one) to save your system settings so
that, when you turn on the computer again, you automatically return to where you left off.
To leave the computer turned off for a longer period, use your operating system's shut down
command.
Do not turn off the power if a disk activity light on the indicator panel is on. Doing so may
damage your hard disk.
