5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to use Netscape for e-mail, newsgroups, and the Web!, December 11, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Netscape Navigator (Dummies 101 Series) (Paperback)

I'm one of the authors, so here's a biased review. This
book steps you though using Netscape Navigator 3.0 to
browse the Web, read and receive e-mail, and join in
Usenet newsgroup discussions. You'll also learn to install
and use Netscape plug-ins, using plug-ins from the CD-ROM
included in the book to listen to RealAudio radio clips,
see video clips, and add a spelling-checking to Netscape.
There's no easier way to learn to use Netscape than by
following the lessons in our book!
