Since the World Wide Web already has quite a few features built-in to make its use somewhat simple (that's why it's becoming so popular) much of what is discussed here may seem a little redundant to some of you. Not to worry, just skip to the next section or use the "find" function on your 'edit' menu to get to the subject you need help with. We'll work quickly from the ground up 'til everybody in the High Desert is a model cyber-citizen that people in other communities will envy!

Many people think you need a different (Bill Gates) web browser in order
to hear background music on the Web! Oh contrair! Download NETSCAPE3.0 !NOW
and start hearing what you've been missing.
If you've been having trouble with Netscape wanting to crash, this also will be the solution. I personally recommend that you try the new version of NETSCAPE.
It will enhance your time on the web both here on "The COM" and anywhere else there is MIDI to be found!
If the instructions still seem confusing (they very well could) then Email
us for help. Many of the pages at "The COM" are outfitted
with an option for MIDI music, so don't miss out.
If you are already using Netscape 2.0 or 2.01, and aren't currently interested in
getting Netscape 3.0, then you should download Crescendo. This utility is the best for hearing what you have been missing
Please don't think us to harsh of our assesment. Rather, just trust our advice and bail out while you still have some hair, some self respect, and a forward view of Internet!
If you are still an online service junkie however...
AOL has been implementing their new Aol-net connections all across
the country and they have just made a visit to our High Desert. Originally
scheduled for an April launch date, the Aol-net provides 28,800 bps speed
to your online experience. GNN users can also use this new access number:
951-2327
That last crack leads us to this second announcement...

A simple yet noteworthy feature is that all large pages on "The COM" have now been discretly outfitted with an "easy return" tool that takes you right back to the top of the page to choose a new item from the menu. We accomplish this not with bulky, cluttering text, but with the simple yet classic linelace. We believe that convenience in navigating within a document is as important as navigating intelligently between documents.
Control PanelIf you have NETSCAPE 2.0, 2.01 or 3.0, or any other "frames capable" then you have seen our latest feature. I hope it made a good impression on you as I know it did on the the reviewers at NETSCAPE. The Control Panel was created to allow you more control over where you can go and how quickly you can get back! A variety of MIDI songs are available by clicking on the music symbol. This will open up another window and allow you to have personal control over any MIDI music that comes over your speakers. We have a large library so have fun finding your favorite background music for the day. You'll need to make sure you have a Crescendo Plug-In or browser equivalently equipped. If it works, you'll know that you do!
There are a number of different dynamic features you will see tied into the Control Panel as well. Soon, the Control Panel will automatically optimize the display and functions to best match the capabilities of your browser!
