========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Aug 1994 22:05:16 -0400 Sender: Small Computing Systems Software Issues Discussion List From: MIAMIPHIL@DELPHI.COM Subject: Mosaic - New Books To my fellow Internetters, One of the simplest and most promising interfaces to the Internet is known as Mosaic. I have seen a demonstration of it, and if you can move the cursor and press the enter key, you can use Mosaic to navigate the Internet, download, Gopher, Telnet, and access most other Internet features. Just move the cursor and press enter. That's all there is to it. The following books are scheduled for release on October 4th. Anybody that wants to get the jump on Mosaic should consider these books, soon to be 'hot off the press.' >Sender: ora-news@amber.ora.com >From: Brian Erwin >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: O'Reilly's Mosaic Handbooks > > > O'REILLY PRE-RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT > > The Mosaic Handbook for the Macintosh > By Dale Dougherty and Richard Koman > 220 (est.), ISBN: 1-56592-096-1, $29.95 (US) > With Enhanced NCSA Mosaic from Spyglass for Macintosh V1.0 on floppy disk > > The Mosaic Handbook for Microsoft Windows > By Dale Dougherty and Richard Koman > 220 (est.), ISBN: 1-56592-094-5, $29.95 (US) > With Enhanced NCSA Mosaic from Spyglass for Windows V1.0 on floppy disk > > The Mosaic Handbook for the X Window System > By Dale Dougherty, Richard Koman, and Paula Ferguson > 220 (est.), ISBN: 1-56592-095-3, $29.95 (US) > With Enhanced NCSA Mosaic from Spyglass for X V2.4 CD-ROM > > On October 4, we will release these three book/software packages >for using Mosaic to navigate and find information on the World Wide Web >(WWW).
