Browsing the Web
The World Wide Web is an online hypertext system that spans the Internet. Hypertext
means you can browse through text, expanding items that interest you. When you
expand an item, you actually follow a link to new information.
Web sites are documents that people post on the World Wide Web. Web sites often
contain text, graphics, video segments, and sound. Using Web browser software, you
can “visit” Web sites, see what’s there, and click items to explore them. Recently
many elaborate Web sites—both frivolous and serious—have appeared, through
which you can shop, comment on political candidates, learn about your favorite TV
stars, search for a partner, order pizza, and more. To visit Web sites on your Newton
device, you need Web browser software.
Sending and receiving e-mail
Through an Internet e-mail system you can send mail to virtually any networked
computer on the planet. An e-mail message arrives within minutes (or at the most, a
few hours) after you send it. E-mail is a great way to communicate with friends and
relatives. You can send and receive text, images, and voice annotations, and even
conduct e-mail conferences with several Internet e-mail users. To use e-mail on your
Newton device, you need e-mail software.
You can send and receive e-mail from many types of e-mail systems. Newton devices
support e-mail from

m online services, like America Online
m LAN-based e-mail networks using cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, Notes Mail, or QuickMail
