THE POWER AND EASE OF MOSAIC ARE REVEALED IN NEW OPEN COMPUTING BOOK

Berkeley, CA, December 29, 1994 -- Mosaic might just be the hottest thing
since the Internet itself. With its graphical user interface (GUI)
designed for information discovery and retrieval over the Internet, Mosaic
allows people to access information without the convoluted syntax and
esoteric commands normally needed on the Internet. Everyone can learn to
take advantage of Mosaic's power and ease of use with
Osborne/McGraw-Hill's latest publication, Open Computing Guide to Mosaic.

One of the books in the Osborne's Open Computing series, the Open Computing
Guide to Mosaic covers all the basic ins and outs of using Mosaic,
including installation and set-up. Readers will discover how to access
text, graphical, and audio files from the World Wide Web, Gopher, and ftp
servers on the Internet. Using Mosaic's hypertext capabilities and
troubleshooting problems are also discussed.

Most importantly, Net surfers will learn how to access an exclusive utility
via the Internet that creates a custom Home Page. The Home Page provides
speedy access to a user's favorite World Wide Web servers (there are
thousands currently on the Internet). Additionally, there is information
about how to access an updated list of World Wide Web providers on the
network at any time.

If people are using Mosaic from either Windows or X-Window, an icon
throughout the book will point to the appropriate information needed for
each interface. For people who have never cruised around the Internet
before, the Open Computing Guide to Mosaic provides the information to get
them up-and-running on the Net and then guides them through Mosaic
step-by-step.

Written in easy-to-understand language and loaded with tips and
illustrations, the Open Computing Guide to Mosaic is the perfect place to
start learning about the application that everyone is talking
about--Mosaic.

Open Computing Guide to Mosaic is soft cover, 352 pages, and has examples
and illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $19.95. ISBN:
0-07-882088-X. For orders only, phone (800) 227-0900, Monday through
