Loony
Tunes Teach the Internet
(ages 8-88) |
|
It's not just for kids. Learn Internet basics
and get inside tips from your favorite Looney Tunes
characters. To begin, either take our quiz or click
on the topic you're interested in learning about.
Visit this site when you have plenty of time early in
the morning or late at night. Why? There are plenty graphics
and animations and downloading is slow when everyone is
"searching the Net". |
