Why Incomplete?
In these days of high-powered computing the human element is often 
neglected.  Acronyms and abbreviations abound and can confuse even 
the most educated computer consumer.  WhatÕs more, those who do 
understand the concepts and jargon are often unwilling or unable 
to relay them to the novice computer user.  This guide is meant to 
provide a helping hand in understand the Internet entity.  It is 
by no means a complete guide; rather it is a general overview of 
what the Internet is and some of the resources available.  In 
areas where the information presented is very general, alternate, 
more in-depth sources are cited, most of them available right from 
your computer.  This guide will also provide you with ideas for 
using the Internet in a classroom as well as a personal 
environment.
This guide was a group effort of the NCSA Education Program 
Students and was originally compiled by Brian Golden and Charles 
Farmer, two of the NCSA Education Program Student Consultants.  If 
you have any questions about this manual, Internet, 
telecommunications, or the NCSA Education Program, please call 
Chuck Farmer at (217) 244-6122 or Lisa Bievenue at (217) 244-1993 
or contact them via e-mail at cfarmer@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Chuck) or 
bievenue@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Lisa).
Due to the unique and fluid nature of the group of people working 
on the "Guide", there will be regular updates to the main version 
of the manual (Incomplete.Guide.XXX.hqx, the MS Word for the Mac) 
and the versions for other systems will be delayed. For a hardcopy 
of the Manual, contact Chuck at cfarmer@ncsa.uiuc.edu or by phone 
at (217)244-6122. If you wish to make the conversion to other 
formats yourself and make it available for ftp, please send us a 
message saying where it is, so that we can pass that information 
along to others.
There are some other formats available on a trial basis. We cannot 
make any guarentees as to how usable these files will be.
