The best book on the Internet now covers Windows 95. The Whole Internet for Windows 95 is the most comprehensive introduction to the Internet available today. For Windows users who in the past have struggled to take full advantage of the Internet's powerful utilities, Windows 95's built-in Internet support is a cause for celebration. And when you get online with Windows 95, this new edition of The Whole Internet will guide you every step of the way. This book shows you how to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (the World Wide Web multimedia browser) and Microsoft Exchange (an email program). It also covers Netscape Navigator, the most popular Web browser on the market, and shows you how to use Usenet readers, file transfer tools, and database searching software. But it does much more. You'll also want to take advantage of alternative popular free software programs that are downloadable from the Net. This book shows you where to find them and how to use them to save you time and money.
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.
