The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet is available online (free) via FTP at
ftp.eff.org, and I find it an excellent aide. Will give you the basics
of network navigation as well and taking you through such things as FTP
and WWW use.
It is availbel in PostScript, ascii, and DVI formats.
It's my expieriecne that books offered in bookstores are hopelessly bad,
seriously out of date, and generally not worth the outrageous sums you
are charged for them. Same applies to the software that comes with this.
All the information you need is here is cyberspace already. it's not
worth paying some RealWorld chump for it.
