- <h3>A Guide to the Internet</h3>
- <hr>
- <i>"Connecting to "the Net" today, takes something of a sense of
- adventure, a willingness to learn and an ability to take a deep breath
- every once in awhile. Visiting the Net today is a lot like journeying to
- a foreign country. There are so many things to see and do, but
- everything at first will seem so, well, foreign.<br>
- When you first arrive, you won't be able to read the street signs.
- You'll get lost. If you're unlucky, you may even run into some locals
- who'd just as soon you went back to where you came from. If this
- weren't enough, the entire country is constantly under construction;
- every day, it seems like there's something new for you to figure out.<br>
- Fortunately, most of the locals are actually friendly. In fact, the
- Net actually has a rich tradition of helping out visitors and newcomers.
- Until very recently, there were few written guides for ordinary people,
- and the Net grew largely through an "oral" tradition in which the old-
- timers helped the newcomers.<br>
- So when you connect, don't be afraid to ask for help. You'll be
- surprised at how many people will lend a hand!"
