So you've got this nifty new operating system and you know you want to surf the Net (even if you have only a vague idea of what that entails). The authors of The Internet for Windows 98 for Dummies start off running, giving you information about Internet terminology and some of the concepts surrounding the World Wide Web. They also tackle the hurdle of getting that first Internet connection "with software loaded, configuration configured, and modem modeming." This book shows you how to set up an e-mail account and check your mail, get started posting messages to Usenet newsgroups, and even set up your own home page. There's a section specifically designated to discussing AOL-based chats, and chapters on NetMeeting, FrontPage Express, and even--yes--Netscape Composer. The book wraps up with a FAQ session on topics such as "How Much Does It Cost to Be on the Internet?" and "Can People Steal Information from My Computer If I'm on the Internet?" A great introductory guide, The Internet for Windows 98 for Dummies explains all the basics in a playful, educational tone. --Jennifer Buckendorff
