Coming in issue 1 of .net magazine...

Easy Internet

And you thought the beginner's guide in the special issue was comprehensive! In the `real' issue one, we'll cram in all the basic stuff we couldn't fit into this supplement, plus run in-depth looks at exactly how to get onto the Net with whatever machine you might have got (Mac, PC, Amiga or ST), extensive guides to all the UK service providers, and much more. If you can't get started after this little lot, we reckon you'll probably never get started at all.

My Internet Diary

Internet virgin John Stevenson sits down with a computer, a modem, three or four Internet guide books and a big pot of coffee. How did he get on? What did he find? And where did he get stuck? We check back on him every hour or so to find out. Join us for The Long Weekend in issue one.

Net Cults

Use of the Internet itself is almost a cult in its own right, but when you check out some of the things people use the matrix for, sitting at your computer chatting to people you've never seen suddenly seems like an eminently normal way to spend the time. In the .net investigation of Net cults we talk to everyone from the crowd at alt.devilbunnies (don't ask) to the mystical freemason-like Illuminati. Logging on will never feel quite the same again...

New Frontier

Some of the best writing on the Internet anywhere is to be found in .net's New Frontier section, where acknowledged experts from Ivan Pope to William Poel take us through the history of the Net, look at how you can get the most out of it, and speculate on the future. Seven pages to make you think, every month in .net magazine.

FAQ

You saw a sample the supplement. Now join us in .net proper, as we answer all your Frequently Asked Questions about getting onto the Internet, and getting the most out of it once you've got there.

The Directory

Every month the back of .net magazine hosts The Directory, pointing you in the direction of the best new newsgroups and services, recommending the best of the long running ones, and generally pushing the high points of the Net. This isn't just some boring listing - this is just about the only genuine printed criticism of what's on the Net you'll find anywhere. Only in .net magazine.
