How do I get help electronically?
Electronic support
There are many different ways to receive technical support 
and information if you have questions or problems. 
Electronic support is easy to use, quick, and very thorough. 
Best of all, the only charges that typically apply are the ones 
you pay to your telephone company or the company you use 
to log onto the World Wide Web. Here are some of the 
electronic support options that you can use.
Internet
You can use the World Wide Web (WWW) to contact us on 
the Internet. When you link to the IBM Aptiva PC support 
home page, you can search for technical tips, download 
update drivers and find out about many other things.
You can visit the IBM Aptiva PC support Internet site at this
