Overview

Take your Mac on a world tour. No matter what you need. Regardless of where you have to go, the Internet can take you there. This book is your ticket. Mac terminal programs, universal email, news services, real-time conversations with people all across the globe, special interest networks, and libraries of programs and information - all this and more is waiting for you. This book also includes all the guidelines and software you need to get going on the Internet - without going bankrupt. Plus, a special connect site offer helps cut costs. Doing this all on your own could cost hundreds of dollars! Other books just tell you about the Internet; this one gets you there.

The Internet is rapidly changing. Every day new programs are added and information is updated. With that in mind, Engst has written a guide that is beneficial to Macintosh users of the Internet, providing comprehensive coverage of a broad range of Internet topics. Also includes an introduction and history of the Internet. The disk contains software needed to get connected to the Internet.

Editorials

Library Journal

Engst here provides the cure for the Internet disenfranchised. Packed into nearly 1000 pages is an exhaustive overview of the Internet and its history, tools, and resources. A great deal of the book is devoted to differing connections to the Internet and their advantages and disadvantages, plus important Internet software. Internet aficionados might argue with Engst on some of the details, but this book and its comprehensive collections of facts, rather than factoids, provides a real service to Internet novices. Even if you don't systematically read the text, you'll find the collection of Internet tools on disk invaluable. This is one of the best places to start Internetting.
