ACTIVITY 2: Learn about the Internet
Question
: How do you
save pictures that you find on the Web?
Answer: If you want
to save a picture onto disk, just hold down the mouse button (the right
button if you're using Windows Internet Explorer) while pointing at the
picture, then select Save Image As from the menu that pops up on the screen.
In the Save dialog box that comes up next, tell the computer where you
want to save the picture. Often it's quickest to save to the desktop, but
you can save it to a disk in another disk drive if you want.

Dinosaurs!
