Toshiba's online resources
Internet news groups
A newsgroup is similar to a chat room, but instead of
using a dedicated site to converse about a specialized
subject with others in real-time, it uses a Web site as a
clearinghouse where all the messages are placed, like
a gigantic bulletin board.
Online shopping
Many Web sites offer products and services for sale.
Uploading and downloading files from the Internet
Transferring files from one computer to another is termed
uploading (transferring data from your computer to a site on
the Web), or downloading (transferring data from a site on
the Web to your computer).
There are several ways to upload or download data. It can
be as simple as attaching a file or document to an email, or
you can use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) features of
your Web browser to transfer large amounts of data.
Toshiba's online resources
Toshiba maintains a number of online sites to which you can
connect. These sites provide information about Toshiba
products, give help with technical questions, and keep you
up to date with future upgrades. For more information, see
