America Online
America Online (AOL) is an online service; in addition to Internet access,
America Online provides many exclusive information services that may not
be available on the Internet. AOL is also very easy to use, and may be the
best choice if you have never used an online service or the Internet before.
For more information about AOL, see its folder on your hard disk or on the
CD that came with your computer.
Apple Internet Connection Kit
The Apple Internet Connection Kit is a collection of Apple and third-party
software that lets you connect to the Internet quickly and easily. The kit
includes the Netscape Navigator Web browser, Claris Emailer Lite e-mail
software, and several other Internet applications and utilities. For more
information, see the Apple Internet Connection Kit: Getting Started manual that
came with your computer. If you decide to use the kit, your best source of
help is the Apple Internet Connection Kit Guide, available in the Guide (h)
menu when you’re using the kit’s software.
Note: To connect to the Internet by modem using the Apple Internet
Connection Kit, you need an Internet service provider (ISP). You pay the ISP
to use their access to the Internet, much as you pay the phone company for
access to the telephone network.
