5.0 out of 5 stars 5 STARS! GREAT VIDEO, December 11, 1999

By A Customer

If you want to teach someone or learn about the Internet in the least amount of time then this video is for you. This video is under an hour long but it covers everything, like how to connect to the Net, e-mail, the Web, Chat, Downloading, Virus protection, kid protection, mailing lists and newsgroups. I got tired of trying to explain the Internet to my parents so I bought this video and watched it with them. I have been on the Net a couple of years now and I even learned some new stuff. I can see why this tape is being used at Penn State University. My parents thought the tape was great and so do I. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD LEARNING TOOL!, December 17, 1999

By A Customer

I was suprised at how much I learned from this video. Being a newbie I wanted to learn more about cyberspace but I didn't feel like reading a long book on it. This tape covers all the bases and gives you a good overview of the Internet. I especially like the fact that the box has a time indexed table of contents so I can quickly find the subject matter I would like to review, for instance how to join a mailing list, download and install software or protect your pc from viruses. Plus, the tape pays for itself by showing you how to get FREE software, free e-mail and free internet access. I recommend The Internet for Beginners to anyone wanting to learn more about the Net.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative for the true beginner, September 19, 1999

By A Customer

I watched your video "The Internet for Beginners" in my computer class at Penn State Harrisburg. I felt that the video was very informative for the true beginner but the pace of the video was quite fast. I know there is a lot of material to cover and so little time, I just felt that I would have to watch it again to retain more insight. The length of the video fit the purpose but as I stated the pace was too fast. However, I did enjoy the video. Even as an avid Internet user I did learn some new interesting information. In conclusion, I feel that a beginner would benefit form watching your video and enjoy surfing the web with confidence.
