Using the Internet

This material is not 'polished'!!

As I surf the net, I come across various things that I wish someone had told me about. In theory, one day it will all be available in the polished sections of my website. In the meantime, if you're willing to 'dig' through some disorganised material, you may be rewarded with 'gems'!

In some cases, the text is snipped from other sources. Therefore, among other things, the personal pronoun may not refer to the editor of this page. If, on the other hand something is identified as coming from 'TKB', he IS the pages's editor!


Ad from page's editor: Yes.. I do enjoy compiling these things for you... hope they are helpful. However.. this doesn't pay my bills!!! If you find this stuff useful, (and you run an MS-DOS or Windows pc) please visit my freeware and shareware page, download something, and circulate it for me? Links on your page to this page would also be appreciated!

See this for full details of the wonderful world of internet
newsgroups / usergroups... but if you are looking for information about
a topic people might be discussing... visit DejaNews for archives of recent
(and older) conversations.

Deja News, main site
Deja News: Power search form
=========
New users....

a) Make use of ctrl-C and ctrl-V... they are quick, easy keyboard shortcuts
for 'cut' and 'paste'... invaluable for 'entereing' URLs

b) Find out about Alta Vista, the search engine

c) Find out about 'DejaNews'... a place to see what has already been said
on topics which come up in newsgroups.

d) If you are looking for freeware or shareware, perhaps the biggest repository
is SimTel. It isn't the answer to all needs, but it is something you should know
about...
