Access Videos and Music Online


You can find a wealth of entertainment content online, from music to
your favorite TV shows and Hollywood blockbusters. Sites such as
Netflix and Hulu allow you to watch content online for free, or you can
purchase content for download for a small fee (as low as $1.89 or so
for video and $0.99 for MP3 music downloads as of this writing) from
sites such as Amazon.

Here are the steps for watching a show on Hulu, which is free, but be
aware that it does insert commercials into the programming:


  1. Connect to the Internet and enter http://www.hulu.comin your

want to watch, enter the name of a movie or TV show in
the Searchfield and click the Searchbutton.

3.When the item appears in the window shown in Figure
