AMAZING NEW BOOK BRINGS THE INTERNET TO THE MASSES
First Internet Tabloid to Hit Market in January 1995

Berkeley, CA, January 25, 1995 -- It was only a matter of time before the
Internet became accessible to the masses--even for those people without a
computer! The Internet Insider, with its outrageous and sensational
tabloid format, brings all the surprising and sordid news direct from the
Net to anyone brave enough to open the book.

Now available, the Internet Insider is the brainchild of Ruffin Prevost,
long-time Net surfer and iconoclast. "In that it intentionally contains
practically no useful information at all on how to use a computer, this
book is unlike every other computer book ever written," states Prevost.
"Instead, the Insider seeks to offer the best writings from the Internet,
focusing on the humorous, offbeat, and outrageous--but with a generous
sampling of serious, surprising, and downright touching items as well. It
presents an insider's look at the Internet and its culture, but it is
written in a style that will engage and enlighten outsiders."

The Internet Insider exposes the mysteries people have wondered about for
years:

* Did Lee Harvey Oswald receive secret messages via the Internet?
* Is Elvis alive and well and surfing the Internet?
* Do space aliens plan to take over our modems and then the world?
* Will the dog-faced boy find love on the Net?

Readers need no experience with computers or the online world to read and
appreciate the book. For the first time in nearly two years of relentless
hype, myth, legend, rumors, conjecture, distortion, misrepresentation, and
oversimplification, everyone will be able to find out what the much-touted
information superhighway is really like.

Covering topics from the bizarre (haiku written by dogs) to the topical
(news on how the Internet helped end Soviet communism), the Internet
Insider casts its investigative light into the darkest corners of the
Net.

In addition, readers will be able to access the electronic version of the
Internet Insider via the Internet. The online Internet Insider will have
up-to-the-minute news from the edge of cyberspace, secrets about the
forces that shape the digital tabloid, and a submission zone for reader
contributions to the next edition of the Insider. There will be an
Internet Insider Home Page accessible from the World-Wide Web by February
1995, as well as an e-mail update subscription service and back issues and
extra editions available via anonymous FTP. For more information about the
Internet Insider online, please send e-mail to ruffin@cerf.net.
