- Long Description:
- ----------------
-
- This is interactive Internet for Windows, the first
- resource of its kind, and one of the finest all-around
- training and tools packages ever created for Windows users.
- So complete and easy to use that it doesn't even come with a
- manual. Install the program, click on an icon, and whether
- you have an Internet account or not, you'll have the Internet
- at your fingertips...and instant access to the Windows skills
- you'll need to make the most of it. Within half an hour
- you'll have tools, knowledge and experience that it takes
- most new users weeks or even months to acquire, and access to
- resources only the most experienced net "surfers" ever
- discover...whether you are connected to the Internet or not!
-
- The Internet is not point-and-click easy. First Train for
- the Internet is that easy, and the information and tutorials
- contained in this shareware version will help insure that it
- stays easy. First Train makes sure you can not only perform
- the tasks, but understand what you're doing. You'll gain
- needed skills with the least possible time and effort.
- Author and developer Cub Lea is respected as one of the most
- understanding and thorough novice- to intermediate-level DOS
- and Windows trainers in North America. This package has been
- described by users as the easiest, most sensitive skills
- enhancement package they have ever used. Covers everything
- from backups and ZIP archives to ergonomics, virus
- protection, Internet security and fine-tuning Windows
- performance. (Not all of these areas are available in the
- unregistered version.) Designed for use by absolute
- computer novices to advanced intermediate Internet veterans
- with features and information to appeal to both ends of the
- spectrum.
