SynopsisThe Netscape Navigator is an Internet information browser with a very user-friendly, windows-like appearance, assisting users to roam the Internet's immense world of multimedia information. Using this powerful tool, you will have access to all the information and resources provided by traditional Internet tools, such as gopher, ftp, and telnet. The multimedia aspect of Netscape Navigator means that users are able to find and use art work, maps, photos, sounds, music, and even movies! Written with both the current Internet and Internet beginners in mind, this book is organized in a series of eleven online sessions, each intended to be done online and hands-on so the user works in conjuction with the book to first put the Windows PC directly onto the Internet and then install the copy of Netscape Navigator. Netscape Navigator is available for free evaluation from many locations on the Internet and for a small fee at software stores., This text brings the author's trademark, hands-on tutorial to a new level with a multimedia tutorial on the CD so that Netscape users can learn by seeing and listening as well as by reading.
