Does anyone know of any websites that provide good free course on things. I've been browzing the net looking for information on the SAGE accounts package but there aren't any free tutorials or courses on it. So just wondering is there a site that provides free education information like this without having to pay for it?

"Put it on please.. and be proud of what and who you are.. no matter what idiot says"

Thanks for the words of encouragement Qbone 🙂 I took my pic down after insulting remarks were made as I did not want to leave myself open for this kind of debase conduct. I am not personally affected by these kinds of remarks because I automatically consider myself above anyone who would resort to this - most vulgar, most unimaginative, most pathetic - form of verbal combat to try to put the other person down.

I almost never use the term ugly to describe anyone's physical appearance because it gives me no sense of satisfaction whatsoever to think that I may have upset them purely by passing an offensive remark about their physical looks.

Indeed when anyone uses this cheap shot tactic as a way to score a point it reflects back the offender's ugliness of character so much more vividly and grotesquely. It also highlights how little imagination and mental dexterity they possess if the only verbal tactic they can muster up is the pathetic and cowardly weaponry of passing schoolyard bully taunts over the more noble, commendable and inspiring routes of logic and wit. If debating were a sport which it is indeed considered in certain schools of thought, then this form of attack would be deemed a Foul and the perpetrator would be penalized.

As a final comment I will say that if this type of verbal abuse is levelled at me I will not rule out throwing it right back at the person. If someone wants to dish out this kind of verbal filth they can taste it for themselves to see how unsavoury and posionous it is.

"So are you saying that bit torrent for example can be used to download different packages for free?"

Packages?

"And if you only have a few fumbling words of computer lingo is it still possible to find what you're looking for?"

Depends on what you are looking for, the smaller the file size is, the less likely you are to find it in torrent form, generally.

"Packages?" by that I mean software. Accounting packages par example

One that is used a lot in big companies maybe....that's be fairly big. I know it cost a lot anyway for a company to purchase.
