Special Edition Using the Internet and Web covers multiple individual end-user activities-it's like having a dozen activity-specific books under a single cover! The book is organized by activity-how people spend their time online. Each chapter describes a specific activity, and shows users the best ways to engage in that activity online-complete with real-world tips and advice for getting the most of that time online. Topics range from getting connected-and getting connected faster-to online shopping and downloading MP3 files. In short, whatever users want to do online, they'll find in this book-without having to wade through hundreds of pages of software-specific instruction.

This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that users have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what is needed to pass the exam.
