Although the 60 Minute Guide to Netscape Navigator 3 bills itself as being for both Internet novices and pros, you will at least want to be familiar with the Netscape browser before investing your 60 minutes. However, if you are up to speed with the basics, you'll find this to be a strong guide to Navigator's more advanced features. These features include Navigator's CoolTalk Internet telephony, virtual reality (VRML) site browsing, and tips on configuring Netscape's audio, video, and 3D plug-ins. The bundled CD-ROM includes Netscape Navigator 3.0, Chaco Communications' VR Scout and Pueblo, an MPEG player plug-in, an ISP offer from EarthLink Network, and more. A handy glossary describes all these programs with pointers to the vendors' Web sites.
