Ready to go "back to school" to learn how to get on the Internet? Since you're reading this review, you must have gotten that far, but perhaps you have a friend who wants to send you e-mail but is scared of what it means to "get on the Net." Set up like a grammar-school workbook (complete with space to write notes on the sides), Dummies 101: The Internet for Windows 98 starts at the very beginning and proceeds very gently. Promising lessons sweetly free of technical geekspeak, the authors assume only the following: that the reader has Windows 98, a CD-ROM drive, a modem with a speed of 14,400 bps or faster, and a phone line connected to that modem. That's it! They discuss how to get an Internet account and spend a whole page explaining how to move up and down a Web page. At the end of each chapter are primer quizzes with questions like, "Some programs that you can use to search the Web are: a) Yahoo!, HotBot, and Lycos; b) Yippee, Sneezy, and Dopey; c) AltaVista, Excite, and Savvy Search; d) Huey, Dewey, and Louie; or e) Groucho, Chico, and Harpo."

For anyone a little (or a lot) behind on "this Internet thing," Bender and Young provide Internet navigation tips and e-mail instructions to take beginners to a comfortable level of expertise. --Jennifer Buckendorff
