Notes: This book (with floppy disk) for MS-DOS users helps newcomers get
online and take their first steps on the 'net. Fraase first wrote the Mac
Internet Tour Guide, and this book seems more like an afterthought than a
follow-up. Chapters cover obligatory topics like What is the Internet,
Getting Connected, Network News, Transferring Files, Using Gopher and Other
Internet Resources. The book's organization leaves something to be desired:
talk of telnet, FAQs and Netfind (hardly unimportant topics) are lumped
together in the "Other Resources" chapter near the back of the book. The
book includes some interesting real-life examples and ideas for things to
do online, but too much (for my taste) focuses on how to set up and use the
bundled software.
