Where can I find puzzles?

Okay, so I'm really new to everything about computer chess.
I've never used engines for any reasons, nor any computer programs, but I would like to try them out to solve puzzles.
More specifically, I would like to find programs that have different kind of puzzles in them, as I'm not interested in analyzing games or playing against a computer.
I know about sites that have tons of tactical puzzles (like chess tempo and others), but I'm looking for these "old school puzzles", the ones that have different outcomes; those that aren't about winning a piece or forcing a checkmate in 3, but actual problems made by composers.
I have a few books that have some of these good old problems, I just thought it'd be much simpler and easier to solve these in a program rather than setting up a real board.
Any of you know some programs that have these kinds of puzzles "built in"?

Not sure I get you. If the point isn't mate or winning material, what would be the point? Making a pretty pattern with pawns? 

// Well, one site with old school problems is Edward Winter's Chess Notes.

Well, let me rephrase it, English isn't my first language. I was looking more of let's say, positional studies, if you like, like those famous old problems that have more positinal play in them rather than a forced checkmate in 3. But I'll take a look at these, thank you both.

For a guy who's first language isn't English you are doing rather well Smile

In Walmart. They have jigsaw puzzles all the time. All joking aside, if you're looking for chess puzzles, try: chess365.com. I used to go there, they should still have them.
