This volume is intended for those new to the Web, and uses an informal and sometimes irreverent style. It aims to provide readers with the basics of the Internet, such as e-mailing, searching on the Net, and ordering online. It also covers things such as gaming sites and how to play online, and chatgroups. All major revisions and upgrades are included, such as Windows 2000, Office XP and new service providers. The CD-ROM includes free subscription to an ISP, browsers and hotlinked web sites.
