The Internet is a global network of computers that connects more than 50 million people in more than 100 countries. It allows for the quick and easy exchange of information, ideas, and opinions.

The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly referred to as the Web, is the popular multimedia branch of the Internet. Here, communication is more than text; it's graphics, sound, video, and hyperlinks to other media or documents. And on the Web, it all works with point-and-click simplicity. As with the rest of the Internet, people can use the Web to locate, read, and download documents stored on computer systems around the world. On the Web, however, the documents are presented as a series of pages (commonly known as Web pages), which are linked together to form a Web site.

The Internet is a vast and awesome resource. No one owns or runs the Internet. (Remember, it's really just a lot of different computers in different places all linked together; there is no central facility.)

EXPLORE THE WEB....... HELP FOR YOU.

WEB BROWSER.....keeps track of the pages you have viewed during your journey and lets you easily return to any of these pages.
Sometimes this will be a RAM CRUNCHER so you should clear your cache often. On   Netscape Macintosh you go to options and select Network Preferences. Select the button CLEAR DISK CACHE NOW. This will help your Netscape from crashing  so much. Let me know if you cannot find this option.

On the PC, sometimes a cache can get confused (such as when servers provide inaccurate page  modification dates). If you suspect a cache is acting improperly (such as providing "stale"  pages) or just wish to free up space, you can clear the caches by clicking the Clear  Memory Cache Now and Clear Disk Cache Now buttons in the Cache preferences panel.

Selecting a Home Page
You can designate your own home page (the page Navigator first brings to the screen each time you open a new window) by supplying a URL as a preference panel item. The default home page, the page that Navigator is initially set to display, has this URl http://home.netscape.com/index.html. (If you omit the pathname index.html, the file still loads by default.)
