Thank you for purchasing Internet Surfer: Getting Started
-Over View. This CD is a collection of Internet software tools. Read Zen
and the Art of the Internet, this book is very informative and helps answer
some of the questions you will encounter when using the Internet. While we
have tried to provide you with the best start possible neither the
author(s) of the software or Wayzata Technology can guarantee or be held
responsible for the performance of any of the software on your computer.
-What is the Internet anyway? The Internet is a network of computers with
35,000,000 users that spans the globe. You can find government, education
and commercial computers that can be accessed from Internet. Once you
connect your computer will be part of the network and you will be part of
the Internet community. This is the Information Super Highway as it exists
today.

ABOUT SHAREWARE...
Shareware (also known as user supported software and other names) is a
concept not understood by everyone. The authors of Shareware retain all
rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing free
distribution. This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and try out
software to see if it fits his needs. Shareware should not be confused
with "Freeware" or Public Domain software even though they are often
obtained from the same sources.
If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected to
register your use with the author and pay a registration fee. What you get
in return depends on the author, but may include a printed manual, free
updates, telephone support, etc. Only by paying for the Shareware you use
do you enable the Shareware author to continue to support his software and
create new programs. Considering that the Shareware registration fees are
almost always far less than the purchase price of comparable retail
software it's obvious that Shareware is a good deal for everyone.
One common misconception is that the author receives payment from the disk
distributors. This is not true; the small fee that you initially pay a
distributor to obtain an unregistered copy of a Shareware program only pays
for the distributors costs. You are still expected to pay the registration
for any program you continue to use.
There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system. You get to try
out software to make sure it is compatible with your hardware and that it
fits your needs before you buy it with your registration. The author saves
the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution and passes the
savings on to you. Plus, most Shareware authors are much more accessible
than retail software sources so that your questions and suggestions are
much more likely to be responded to.
Once again thank you from Team Wayzata (WayzataTec@aol.com).
