Preface
Connect yourself to a world of information!
You've
read all
about
it. The information
superhighway.
Cyberspace. The greatest
development in information technology
since
the
telephone. Hell, since the printing press
.
And
you
want
to
get
involved.
But
how?
It's
a strange
new
world out
there,
packed
with computer geeks,
infonauts,
self-
sytled
infobahn
warriors
-
if
anything was
guaranteed
to put
you
off, it's this lot.
That's
why
Future Publishing's new .net
magazine is a jargon-free
zone.
We want to
show
you, simply and easily,
how to
get
the most
out
of the Internet.
After all, the Internet's for everyone.
If
you
want to
get
involved -
and
you
should
- buy
issue
one
today!
As
editor
of
.net, I'm obviously pleased to
see our
sister
magazine, Amiga
Format,
giving
away
this free Internet
start-up
guide
.
Anything
that helps Amiga owners
get on-line can
only be
good
news.
And
this
covermounted
book
contains chapters
1
and
2 of Amiga Format's new
"Internet, Modems,
and the Whole Comms
Thing" book. However, it's more than just a
taster
for
the real thing
