Review

The Whole Internet for Windows 95 is a very good first book on the Internet for those who are already fairly comfortable using their computers. The writing is lively and engaging, and the authors seem to appreciate the value and diversity of the Internet. What's more, they present the Net to the reader like a tantalizing invitation to come sample what it can offer.

If you're looking for a tour guide to the Internet that won't treat you like a dummy, this is top choice. On the other hand, if you're more comfortable with a very systematic, handholding approach to the Net, investigate some of the other titles in this category.

A version of this book that is not specific to users of the Windows 95 operating system is also available.

From the Back Cover

The Whole Internet for Windows 95 is a comprehensive introduction to the Net for Windows 95 users. When you get on-line with Windows 95, this new edition will guide you every step of the way, from configuring the network services to surfing with Internet Explorer. Learn about all the Internet tools that are part of Windows 95, including the freely available Internet Explorer (the World Wide Web browser), Microsoft Exchange (the e-mail program), and more. This book also discusses the most popular alternatives to Microsoft's tools, including Netscape and Eudora. And it covers a number of tools that Microsoft doen't provide, but which are part of every Internet user's toolbox: a USENET newsreader (Trumpet), Archie, Gopher, WAIS clients, and more. You'll also find the Whole Internet Catalog, which is our own index of Internet resources. It contains pointers to just about every topic imaginable, from biochemistry to travel tips. And there's a list of several hundred Internet service providers, covering all of the United States and other parts of the globe. An appendix summarizes the features of Microsoft's on-line service, the Microsoft Network.
