Hello Listers,
I should like to advise you of the latest version of my
Internet
manual/tutorial called "Accessing the Internet from the
Keyboard
the Windows Way". Since its first release in April 2000,
when it
numbered 15,500 words, it has grown to 40,000 words. The
latest
version is dated 15 November 2000.
Five major sections have been added to the original fifteen
sections, including:
Internet Shopping
Online Auctions
Realaudio
Download Managers and
Internet Chat Rooms
Whilst many of the references are to UK sites, they are,
nevertheless, good examples of how to manoeuvre around and
register on such sites. The guidance can easily be converted
to
US equivalents and, indeed, many of the site references are
US-
based.
Many more sub-sections have been added to the original
fifteen
main sections, plus numerous additional paragraphs and
sentences.
Dozens more resources have been placed in the appendices as
well.
Some of the additional sub-sections include:
E-Mail Links on a Web Page
Sending a Copy of a Web Page or Link to Someone Else
Roboform Automatic Forms Completion Software
Quick and Easy Web Access with Microsoft Powertoys
The Outlook Express Quick People Search Facility
1-Step Voice E-Mail
Inserting Text into an E-Mail Message
Jumping from E-Mail to a Website
Shopping Price Comparisons Site
As usual, within the UK, the manual is available by e-mail
transfer or on floppy disk; elsewhere by e-mail only.
The cost is ten English pounds. However, I am now in a
position
to accept personal US dollar cheques as well. If paying by
US
cheque, the cost will be eighteen dollars.
I have appended a copy of the newest five major sections of
the Table of contents of the guide
below the complimentary close for your perusal. The whole
Table of Contents was too large for this list to accept it,
as it rejects any message which is more than 1,000 lines. If
any one is
interested in the Internet manual or any of my other Word 97
or
print scanning tutorials, please contact me on:
Phone (in the UK): 0113 2575957
or
Phone (from outside of the UK): 01144 113 2575957

Best regards,
John Wilson.
