Notes: A guide to the Internet, CompuServe, Prodigy, America Online,
Delphi, GEnie, and ZiffNet for CompuServe, this book is the first of its
kind to feature real maps of each service, making it exceptionally easy to
navigate the on-line world. Colorful but hard to read. There are also easy-
to-follow instructions for using each one, plus tips, shortcuts, and
pointers to the best and most interesting features. Interesting stuff, but
seems to favor the online services featuring ZiffNet online. I wonder
why...

Notes: A guide to accessing and using Usenet newsgroups. Includes a decent
(but short) introduction to Usenet, including info on the Usenet community
and conventions. The majority of the book is a list of Usenet newsgroups
and the FAQs that live in each - information that can easily be found
online at no cost. It also reprints several general Usenet introductions
that are also available online for free. Doesn't cover rot13 or how to
decode binary files. In short, not the best way to spend your money.
