A general source of information on the internet can be found via ftp
to NIC.MERIT.EDU
Two directories of especial interest are:
INTRODUCING.THE.INTERNET and INTERNET
Included in these directories is the original Zen and the Art of
Internet as well as Mac and Windows tutorials on cruising the internet.
 
I realize many of us are old hands at this, but some of us have recently
commented about being new. And even old hands can learn new tricks (at
least this one can!)
 
Access to NIC.MERIT.EDU is via anonymous ftp using your net id as
password. The particulars will depend on the system you're using.
