Using the Internet
Web Browsers
A Web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer lets
you view and explore information on the Web.
Common features of a Web browser include:
■ Home page — your starting point for
exploring the Web.
■ Search engine — an application that searches
for Web information you request.
■ Bookmarks/Favorites — a list of Internet
addresses you often visit.
■ History list — a list of Web sites you have
visited recently.
E-mail
E-mail (electronic mail) allows you to send letters,
pictures, postcards, even music and video clips, to
anyone instantaneously.
Outlook Express is the e-mail program that comes
with your PC. You can use other e-mail programs,
like AOL and Yahoo! Mail, if you wish.
