Why is the Internet So Popular?
===============================
The Internet is a rich source of online information, covering almost
any topic you can imagine. When you are connected to the Internet, you can:
- Exchange messages with people all over the world.
- Get the latest news, weather, sports, and entertainment information.
- Download software, including games, pictures, and programs.
- Join discussion groups, such as bulletin boards and newsgroups.
==================================
How Can I Connect to the Internet?
==================================
-- If you do not currently have an Internet account, sign up for The
Microsoft Network (MSN) by double-clicking the MSN icon on your desktop
and then following the instructions. The Microsoft Network includes access
to the Internet as part of its service.
-- If you have an account with an online service (see list below),
or use bulletin board services (BBS) regularly, do one of the following:
a) Sign up for The Microsoft Network by double-clicking the
MSN icon on your desktop.
b) Download The Microsoft Internet Explorer files (MSIE.exe) from
your online service (see full list of locations below).
-- If you already have an account with an Internet access provider,
you can download Microsoft's browsing tool, Internet Explorer, from
http:\www.microsoft.com. Besides being easy to use, Internet Explorer
enables you to create desktop shortcuts to your favorite Web sites.
Try it out!
