The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Whole Internet for Windows 95: User's Guide & Catalog':

Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
The Whole Internet for Windows 95 is a very good first book on the Internet for those who are already fairly comfortable using their computers. The writing is lively and engaging, and the authors seem to appreciate the value and diversity of the Internet. What's more, they present the Net to the reader like a tantalizing invitation to come sample what it can offer. If you're looking for a tour guide to the Internet that won't treat you like a dummy, this is top choice. On the other hand, if you're more comfortable with a very systematic, handholding approach to the Net, investigate some of the other titles in this category. A version of this book that is not specific to users of the Windows 95 operating system is also available.

The largest part of this book is identical to Krol's "The Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog" . New Windows 95 specific meterial has been added to the chapters on email, the World Wide Web, telnet and ftp. As well, there are appendices on establishing a network connection with Win95 (both with and without MSN (Microsoft Network)), MSN itself, a comparison of Internet Explorer and Netscape, and special attention to online resources for Win95 users. The basic Inteernet material is as clear as ever. The Win95 content is likewise easily understandable for Internet users who are new to the operating system. This book could act as a realistic introduction to the Win95 tools as it not only gives operating details but also analyses shortcomings and limitations. The appendix on establishing an Internet connection is particularly useful. (I did note some minor discrepancies between actual Win95 screens and the content in the book. This may be due to discrepancies in Win95 itself: MS support people have given odd information in regard to similar features.) Both a good introductory Internet guide for Win95 users and a helpful review of the Win95 Internet functions. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
