The Internet Navigator

Internet ties together 5,000 educational, government and commercial computer networks, and is now accessible to virtually anyone with a computer and modem. This is a guide for new users of Internet who wants to establish their own private connections. The focus of this book is the time-and money-saving techniques for efficiently navigating the vast global network. After giving a general overview of the Internet and some of its more frequently used services (electronic mail, news and bulletin boards), the text focuses on the ways in which users can streamline their searches, download files quickly, automate the delivery of mail and otherwise reduce the time they spend lost in an immense maze of data.
