Ok:

1. Go find a computer (if you are unfamiliar with what a computer is then go to the library and ask somebody)
2. Sit down on a chair, crate, or anything you can find and face the screen (the screen is the part where the pictures and words show up and it will probably be illuminated, if not, see step 3)
3. If the computer is off, turn it on by pressing the power button which looks like a semi-circle with a vertical line segment going from the middle and extending out of the top
4. Now, you may be prompted to log-in. If so, abandon all hope and go live in the mountains.
5. On the first screen there may be a picture of two computers with a lightning bolt between them and a caption that say 'PuTTY'.
6. Using a device known as a "mouse" (not the rodent kind) use the button on the top left to click twice on the icon. You can see where the mouse is clicking by looking for the little arrow on the screen. If the arrow is not on the putty picture then you will have to move the mouse around on the table or whatever flat surface you happen to be working on until the arrow is over the icon. The two clicks need to be in rapid succession or the putty program will not run. If you clicked too slow try clicking faster until something on your screen changes.
7. Now, using the techniques you learned in steps 1-6 follow the directions in >>24.

You may also be wondering what this device with all the letter and number buttons is. It will most likely be on the table in front of the computer screen. It is called a 'keyboard' (not the musical instrument) and can be used to tell the computer what you want to write in your program or what server you want to connect to. For instance, if you push down on the button marked with an 'A' an 'a' should appear if your cursor is in a text field or a text editor. A good rule of thumb to know whether or not you can input text into a certain spot is by looking for a little blinking bar (kinda looks like '|') which tells the user that it is waiting for letters and numbers (and symbols!) to be inputted.

For more information on the keyboard I suggest making another thread on this forum.
