Net Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Internet and Online Services

Description

In March 1996, a Nielsen survey found that 56 million people over the age of 16 in the U.S. and Canada have access to the Internet. If the current rate of growth continues, by the year 2000, over 50% of the US population will have access to the Internet. With as many as 50,000 new Web sites beginning each day, most Internet users would find the prospect of an Internet "yellow pages" both appealing and useful. Now, from the definitive leader in Internet publishing, Michael Wolff, comes "NetGuide."
