Complex systems are counter-intuitive ;

SYNERGY SCHOOLS are an on-line facility to get advice, help, support when and how you need it. While the Internet market will grow, most of the growth will be in business Intranets not the more public mass media applications because Internet is too hard for most people.

They can handle AOL but that's not where it's at.

To: Laura Nacke lnacke@excite.com Subject: RE: TOURS Tour submission! ---------- From: Laura Nacke lnacke@excite.com Sent: Thursday, November 21, 1996 4:41 PM To: Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: TOURS Tour submission! Peter: Thanks for sending another tour. Can you add more narrative to make the tour clearer. I have done some work - you should visit the sites and leave in those you think are useful and remove the ones that aren't THERE IS TOO MUCH as always - That's' why we need guides and friendly inter-faces...

The main point is that we are moving from a complex PC /windows system, that took a lot of doing on the part of the consumer to a utility like the TV set or the telephone where the network is complex but the instrument, appliance is simple. This is called the web-TV or NC Network computer. In order to have a foot hold in this huge market several companies are working on friendly user interfaces - the relationship between the user and the Internet. Escape is a good example. When Web TV is on your cable system you can work Excite from your couch. Plug and Play, click and see, hear, touch and feel.. For instance is there a site you can link to in the first paragraph for Web TV and/or Network Computer? http://www.nc.com/

marimba

is a way of using Java to down load data in advance along with applications. See the trans.marimba.com channel andthe bongoTaste demo.

The introduction to the Internet Internet 101 is our Internet 100 class, look for Internet.htm, guides, and tools on this site. THE INTERNET LEARNING TOUR explains the technology of connecting one computer to others on a network works.

The Internet is a new technology

unlike any that has come before.

The big difference is that it contains its own technology transfer and support system.

There needs to be programs for easy entry and and more education links to support new users.
Here are some packages that make web use almost easy.

RE: Excite, Web-TV, Pathfinder, newspage, freeloader:

is the best search engine and individualized search page. You can set up your topics and the articles will all line up for you. newspage can be individualized but not as easy as EXCITE.

FREELOADER

saves to your hard drive a number of sites so they load more quickly What does FreeLoader do?

Think of it as a VCR for the Web. Some Web sites take a long time to download, especially those offering multimedia such as movies, audio, or interactive graphics. With FreeLoader, you can do other things and let your computer do the waiting for you! FreeLoader 2.0 is the original off-line Web browser. By downloading complete Web sites directly to your hard drive, FreeLoader allows you to look through Web sites on your own time - not your service provider's.

Pathfinder

from Time/Warner open a range of news and entertainment.

Pointcast

update on request and is getting close to a complete internet package.

They are working with Netsacpe to create a plug and play internet.

The new style is a easy introduction to the web: with POINTCAST you can open Netscape. Netscape is working with POINTCAST to add all that is needed to make this a complete Internet package, plug and play. It also has a cool screen saver.

This is what Web-TV will look like when it comes on line this Christmas season. Look at the Cable systems alternative: WEBTV http://www.webtv.net/HTML/home.about.html

See CNN Story

They are late to get to retailers.

They've already made a lot of their fall plans," said Ed Volkwein, senior vice president and general manager of sales and marketing at Philips. "This could be the hottest thing for Christmas."

WebTV allows you to quickly and easily connect to the Internet. Simply plug one end into your existing phone line and the other through your television and you're hooked up. WebTV comes with everything you need to install and get on-line, including easy-to-read instructions and suggestions on surfing the web. WebTV doesn't interfere with your cable, VCR or satellite. Plus it's so simple to install even an adult can do it.

http://www.sony.com/ http://www.sony.com/SCA/station.html Sony Corporation of America and Visa have joined in a multi-year agreement to offer a first-of-its-kind, multi-faceted entertainment, information and consumer transaction environment on the World Wide Web.

The site, to be called Sony Station and launched in the Fall of 1996, will incorporate innovative, entertaining new programming within a "walk-through" entertainment center in cyberspace for the online consumer.

Magnavox WebTV Philips Company

The Internet without a PC

Introduce your family to a whole new world with Magnavox WebTV: World Wide Web access through your television. Without the cost and hassle of a personal computer (PC), the Magnavox WebTV brings the technology, entertainment and excitement of the Internet to your television. http://www.magnavox.com/hottechnology/webtv/webtv.html If you don't know what a IP# means, or what is IRC, or FTP, etc. this is the place to learn and To get all the Net has to offer, you have to have the right tools .

Then you can test and tune up at HOTWIRED Monkey Web

This along with WebTV may change everything again . In a worldwide telephone conference call, CNN Interactive, the world's leading interactive news service and PointCast Incorporated, the leader in broadcast news via the Internet, today announced a partnership to add CNN's news resources to the PointCast Network? -- redefining the way news is presented over the Internet.

The companies also announced an extensive co-marketing and television advertising campaign to widely distribute the service. Pointcast and CNN TIME/Warner on your desktop...It's the most compelling app I've ever seen for a personal computer." Dave Winer, Wired magazine "PointCast is "information television"...and will be a killer app." http://www.pointcast.com/

CNN Interactive: http://www.cnn.com/

http://cnn.com/index.html Scott Woelfel, editor in chief of CNN Interactive How do you want your news? Do you want it in-depth and at length? Do you want it neatly packaged in manageable portions? Do you want it at an appointed hour? Or do you want it when the mood, need or whim strikes you? http://cnn.com/feedback/welcome.html

COOL SITES http://www.ttalk.com/html/cool.links.html

VDO http://www.vdo.net and ftp.vdo.net /pub vdol32b2.exe

VDO has been upgraded then see Bill Gates on the Internet http://www.vdo.net/misc/keynote.html

The script is on ( and below in an edited format ) http://www.wiredbrain.net/Gates.htm the transcript ( with errors ) Bill Gates Internet Strategy Workshop Keynote

It seems that Bill underestimated the speed but not the direction of the intra-nets and inter-nets.

The central point that it should be easy using the http format to have full integration of the office suite. He assumed as did most people that it will take mid-band connections ( up to 10 times faster than the dial up ) to run video. And there he is on video ( not very good video but video ). IDNS line prices are dropping.

NOW some new stuff that doesn't quite work yet:

http://www.iterated.com/index.html

Join the video revolution that's sweeping the World Wide Web. See for yourself who's Cool on the Web, Fractal Viewer

CoolFusion.

From Gif to FIF ? Fractal zooming and fractal focusing with the right click you can: as /images display, More detail, not less, as you zoom in Higher quality at lower file sizes Rotating, flipping, stretching and scaling Color palette control ...all on the Web!

Here is a set of sites you can visit - download a application ( plugin) and test to see if you like it AUTO-Video Netscape's plug in's

http://home.netscape.com/misc/registration/setup/index2.html

http://www.open2u.com/action/tg.html Plug-ins for streaming real-time movies and sound, authorable movie buttons and movie image maps.

These don't work very well, maybe for the hobbist who has a lot of time to waste in getting them to work. Now a consumer product. Maybe more interested in selling stock than in having a product that works.

http://www.digigami.com/CineWebPress.html

Then to try it at http://www.digigami.com/

http://www.digigami.com/PlugIns.html Worked sort of so what ?

http://www.beingthere.com/

Surf TV has the plug in but... Who whats to wait for a big file to download ? http://www.surftv.com/top.html

From the what's cool buttom on Netscape Browser.

NARRATIVE COMMUNICATIONS

No more waiting for graphics and audio files to download - Narrative's Enliven viewer, a Netscape Navigator plug-in for Windows, gives you streaming multimedia on the Web. Now you need to down load the plug-in and use Netscape 2 - ( I had to get a copy from 205.218.156.36 the netscape ftp ( much faster than their download pages )

Then it worked ( after several tries and a reboot ) plays a video type CD talking page.

The stream in real audio has now become a video play with buffer. Rather than download, setup application and play - it can run off the web pages.

NEXT STOP

http://www.timecast.com/

Very interesting mixture of sound and web pages. You could make a very nice presentation, slides, sound, it works fine on my system ( 486 - 80 28.8 modem ( or digital connection to replace the analog ) )

Start here http://www.prognet.com/

_ Progressive Networks

(PN), developers of RealAudio, the leading streaming multimedia delivery system for the Internet, announced the World Wide Web publication of Timecast:

The RealAudio Guide. Timecast enables users to customize their own daily news broadcast with time-sensitive, audio content on the Internet and have it pushed back to them.

Timecast, delivered over the World Wide Web, is the first end-user service to deliver customized multimedia news and information.

http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/hotlists/hotlists.html is one hot list to keep looking at educational material

Newbie.htm is where to go for Internet information.

HEADSPACE

http://www.headspace.com/

On June 12, 1996, a three justice panel in Philadelphia ruled the Communications Decency Act unconstitutional, in part due to testimony by SurfWatch. We're helping protect free speech - you can too!

PBS ---

I am using Netscape Gold 3b on a PC 486DX, 80 with a 14.4 modem ( or digital connection to replace the analog ) connected by dial up to ATT worldnet. I have a number of plug ins. Lets start in PBS. http://www.pbs.org / .

In Netscape or explorer you can open more than one window . Use File then New Web Browser to have the Tour.htm in one window and the PBS in another.

Then you can use Window and switch from one to the other. You see a button " Learn with PBS" lets go there. http://www.pbs.org/insidepbs/learningservices/

Then to CyberSchool:

http://www.pbs.org/tconnex/feature.html

It says:

The Internet craze has hit school systems filling educators everywhere with hope and despair .New options in alternative educational methodology are now at the tips of everyone's fingers, but what's in store for teachers who will have to change their traditional teaching ways if they are to keep up with even the youngest of their students? Fortunately, PBS has taken an aggressive step in helping teachers - from novices to experts - cope with the onslaught of the Internet.

Programs such as Using and Understanding the Internet, Life on the Internet, Triumph of the Nerds and their corresponding Web sites are designed to challenge advanced surfers as well as inform and empower beginners. Beginner courses include definitions of commonly used terms and answers to frequently asked questions, as well as tips on how to become a savvy surfer on the Internet. Please see below for a list of helpful links. http://www.pbs.org/tconnex/feature.html#links

Now you can spend some time in cyber school

http://www.pbs.org/tconnex/index.html or come back later for a visit to the resources mentioned. It's hard to maintain a linear focus, there is a tendency to wander off. That's fine but when you are ready, lets continue. At the bottom of the PBS page is a window with choices of information about their series and their specials. I open the box and pick Life on the Internet in the specials box. http://www2.pbs.org/internet/ then on the left "Live Video" for which you will need VDO plug in at after that return to http://www.vdolive.com/download/

http://www2.pbs.org/in ternet/video/

then the video library and look at Video Students.

When two men, Canadian Richard Weber and Russian Misha Malakhov, decided to become the first to ski - unaided - to the North Pole, they were joined on their documents JOURney by a handful of students from Confederation High School in Ottawa, Canada.

http://www2.pbs .org/internet/ed/story.html then find the clip on http://www2.pbs.org/internet/video/library.html

(Look down the page ) view promo- I hope the Netscape has added to right player in your setup helpers. If not you have to go options, general, helpers and set VDO to play.

NEXT STOP: National Geographic

Digitals AltaVista http://www.altavista.digital.com/

This is home plate. You can find most of what you want from here. It replaces complex bookmarks. ( block copy and paste)

AltaVista gives you access to the largest Web index: 30 million pages found on 225,000 servers, and three million articles from 14,000 Usenet news groups. It is accessed over 12 million times per weekday.

Use the button at the bottom AltaVista Sostware to get to http://altavista.software.digital.com/

Then if your Netscape as been up graded to Java use the button at bottom to open frames version. Now this is something to see. Use the tabs at the side to go to site map. Think about this format as a lesson plan. History, more information, step 1,2,3 it's very powerful and in motion.

They have a forum, BBS type conference. You see Pflaum interactive research on the web.6\21 ?

http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/hotlists/hotlists.html is one hot list to keep looking at educational material

guide.htm is where to go for Internet information.

Now you can see what can be done. Visit our NEWBIEpage for more information on the internet and guides to the stuff you need.

INTERNET 101 - the beta Class

Check with http://www.windows95.com/

for Dial up setup

( I don't think AOL will work for almost anything. You need a direct provider such as ATT, MCI, Sprint, Spry net, WOW, see http://www.wiredbrain.net/Newbie.htm to do phone, FTP, IRC etc. Compuserve has a PPP connection but may use 16 winsock that makes it unstable and slow, sprynet is Compuserve that works. You need to make a direct dial up, do not use any of the software these companies send you but just a dial up in Windows95, because the NETBIOS become direct and functional, at 42 bit and 28.8 speed. You only need your user name and password in the dial up.

BUT you do need to set up networks in control panel, for client for Microsofts networks, with Dial-up adapter, TCP/IP, File and print sharing, give you computer a name, that's it.

Then properties in the dial up networks in My Computer,  log on network, enable software compression, NetBeui, TCP/IP all defaults,  you can add the DNS server # of you provider,  I will put the pictures of the settings on the Tutor.htm page ) 

The beta test of the on-line seminar for Internet 101 is ready to go. We will accept about 15 students.

There will be 15 lessons, about 4 hours a week for 15 weeks.

The beta class is free, including the necessary software. You will need a LSP ( local server provider ), Windows 95, a 489 60 Mht, ( means at least 8 Mb of RAM) with 40 Mb of disk space. We have a down load site for FREE software, NET MEETING, Editors, VDO, Real Audio, FTP, et al

When I am on line my computer is connected by a PPP ( point to point ) connection, using Direct dial function in Window 95. My computer is identified as IP # 154.44.154.164 for example, but this number changes every time I sign on. That is called a dynamic IP. Some service providers will assign a fixed IP. All URL's are fixed IP in domains. Trevista, is a domain registered with fixed addresses, for mail, browsers, FTP, etc.

All information going out and coming in comes in packets, at 28.8 packets per second, with this IP as my address.

There are several ports with different protocols.

The WEB, pages, come in theses packages and is the most common with browsers like Netscape, or Internet Explorer using HTTP ( hypertext transfer protocol ) with Java or Active-X scripting tools on the new versions.

Other applications on the Internet are E-mail, that sends this letter from my mail server to your mail box using a old but stable system. Newsgroups, list servers, FTP ( file transfer ) IRC ( chat boards) all use their own systems. Netscape has integrated FTP, and real audio, into its browser. I-phone ( Internet voice phones) CuSeeMe, VDO ( running video ) and other applications have their own codes and have to be added to a browser as plug-ins.

Therefore, unless my machine and your machine have the ports set up and the codes we can't communicate.

FIRST YOU NEED A SERVER - a on ramp to the internet

First you need a local server list or directory of local servers:

Beaucoup search engines

use "wiredbrain" 100 Search engins in clickable tables on one page.

These pages use altavista to make footnote type references. Hyperlinks using the Netscape browser make for direct connections and a new form of text.

TESTING POINTCAST at  http://www.pointcast.com/ This is a browser, a news service, a stock ticker, weather report, with great graphics, TRY IT! - also I am now using SPRYNET and have a home page there it's not hardsprynet  at http://www.sprynet.com/ with a Windows 95 dial up (script) and for $20.00 unlimited with connections to compuserve, Juno and all the services you need or want, it's great.

Dial up scripting:

Go to START, then Control Panel - ADD/REMOVE programs

WINDOWS setup ( middle choice at top ) Have a disk button lower right go to : E:\ ( CD drive with Windows 95 disk ) \admin \apptools \dscript open ( install ) check box on scripting tool install then go to START/programs/ accessories

find scripting tool find dial up for SPRY ( or what ever you are using ) edit script the scripts are in /program files/ accessories as *.scp files

The script is ^M = ( a hard return) proc main transmit "^M" transmit "SPRY01" transmit "^M" transmit "SPRYxxxxxx" (note your user number) transmit "^M" transmit "xxxxxxx" (note your password) transmit "^M" endproc

A T & T maybe the best for now in the quality of the line and the number of local phone numbers. ( As well as price )

MCI Home Page

Their fees are rather (1-800-849-8274) high but the service is good if you have a local access number. AGAIN I have been able to connect at 115,000 AT & T is at 1-800-967-5464 internet service 5 hr free and $20 a month

The software that comes with the program is for Windows 4.11 not Windows 95 After signing in go to /dialer in the /worldnet files find reg.ini and open it in a notepad (may have to make copy regini.txt to open) find LOGIN which is a number@worldnet.net and the PASSWORD and paste into a new Dial Up connection ( in My computer on Windows 95)

Then it really works.

compuServe Home page

They use a PPP connection so you can have your own browser - but why have time charges - it can get very expensive

America on Line Maybe they will get their browser to work (some day) and say there is direct connections - maybe after wasting 24 million on this lemon they are going Explorer or Netscape. Be Warned it a lot easier to sign on than sign OFF -

There are many good introductions to the Internet, including THOMAS P. COPLEY tcopley@arlington.com Make the Link Workshop http://www.crl.com/~gorgon/

a $20.00 on line e-mail class material from Synergy Network Synergy pages, JOHN PAUL Fullerton's gateway to learning to learn on the WEB Yahoo has an list under computers, internet, classes - If you need help on E-mail, Chat (IRC) Suites, FTP, Newsgroups and newsletters, ping, IP id, finger, etc. let me know. Most of these programs will be intergrated into general service programs like Netscape. See MecklerMedia and their site finder.

There are program packages sold "Internet in a BOX", not very good - beware - mostly selling a limited, out-of-date, over priced services. What you want is a REAL connection to do what you want to do - IBM maybe the WORSE - over prices and behind the times - too bad AGAIN...Compuserve is trying, and AoL may get their act together someday, Juno is great if you have local number. GNN part of Aol and their map of the site finder.

I am surprised this works. I have tried for almost a year to get MS Word to interface with the internet. Here HOT DOG does it. I can up and down load between the web pages and the editor.

Netscape's editor is NOW WORKING (sort of ). I just got Gold 4b and here we go. I am writing this in the editor and the FTP will send it back to the site. Let's see - it works GREAT !! You can test the method. and see for yourself.

BUT, but Netscape's Editor changed all the local links and image references when it was clearly asked not to. 
WHAT A PAIN
What they say about the dancing BEAR: It's not that it dances well, but that it dances at all.  
I am using Hot Dog

The editor works very well plus the built in FTP ( use ftp.sausage.com to get Hd42binst.exe and use toolbone bar only ) means I edit and transfer to my Web site on the left coast ( from Florida the Right coast ) very quickly. I open in Rover and down load, save to file, edit and return, almost as if the files on right here on this machine. With metro.WiredBrain.net and the WINS connection, I open g: which is a remote computer and work with the files just like on c: but slower, open edit and save.

The people in the beta group can open a http://www.wiredbrain.netdocuments JOURNAL right into their HTTP editor, make additions, comments, and save to file. ( or use an FTP program )

They will be able to use real time on-line chat and phone. CuSeeMe if they have the set up, share a conference or fourm package, use a data base, and be really in conntact.

They can Click on computer icon Pflaump and connect through trevista to my machine if it is also on line.

The interface from Digital is very active and dramatic.

that resulted from my frustration with updating and maintaining Dexter on the Web. For the first few weeks of the site's existence, new pages were created using Windows Notepad. As time went on, however, I found that I needed something a little fancier. I tried what seemed like dozens of HTML tools - from simple text editors to full-blown WYSIWYG environments - but never found one that suited me."

Now I am trying WorldDOC, ( WYSIWYG ) very good, clean and doesn't mess up. This maybe a good as it gets right now.

The Microsoft Internet connections ( X-files) he suggests seem to improve my system. It messed up the /images - otherwise O.K. I am back on WebEdit, and save the time wasted repairing the mess make by these other editors.

Download MSICPB.exe - USA Site (2MB) Updated! 4/25/96

This update installs Beta 2 versions of the ActiveX Internet controls and its helpers.

These controls require either Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.51 as an operating system.

They do HELP a lot.

The browser and FTP work a lot faster. 

Webedit and Webber are fine but don't interface with the WWW. Hot dog maybe the only one that works for home PC with a WWW inface. Why is it so hard to do a WYSIWYG word processor for http.

The people who wrote mosaic are Netscape. It reminds me of the old days ( more than 10 years ago ) when I used word processors that used codes.

Then Word Perfect moved from a fixed space mode to open graphics. Why doesn't WP handle Http formats ? I know big companies have been connecting Word with the internet for some time but I couldn't. It didn't make sense to not have editor, browser, FTP all connected. 

We will build a low cost almost free Intranet system for groups of 40 or so, the Virtual Office or classroom. While big companies spend $40,000 to $400,000 getting connected we will do it for less than $100.00 ( not for 1000's of PC but dozens ) using existing NT software and NetBios. We are on http://www.wiredbrain.net/ since the domain trevista.com has becomes active. We will have a site with great new technology and will be able to do a lot more. We have a group of beta testers that will be using WINS technology. 

The new files are also there. For only the new stuff go to Synergy Files and for BETA testers of the WINS method of making interactive ( Virtual ) office/classroom the current instructions are on ftp://ftp.wiredbrain.com/wiredbraindocuments Vobinfo.txt. It is working.

RE: Creating Innovation on the Internet - Register NOW !

What do you think. How do we get in on the Gold Rush ?

MY IDEA: Global Village Schools is offering an introduction to innovation on the Internet. Registrar now by E-mail to

Write FEEDBACK FORM sent by SouthWindnet

. Fee $125.00. For the late breaking news visit Newbie.htm and First.htm of the synergy site above. CONTENT: 45 hr 4 credit class over six weeks to six months. Content involves current activities on the Internet, and a skill base in Communications, Web servers, editors, chat, ftp, etc. FREE Software = cost of class.

The intellectual content is on managing change and RAPID innovation. Each student will develop a 100 point ( 1 pt = 1 hr work) portfolio on the Web site for all the world to see. What is in fact learned will depend..on the student, the changes, the synergy that happens in cyberspace..

RE: Lesson One:

The Internet on the Internet:

This is an individualized class. Each student will be coached depending on their needs and interests. When we can, we will form groups that can help each other.

The content includes any and all sources that are helpful. I don't even pretend to know-it-all, and it all is in the constant state of change. We try to stay current.

The class involves earning 100 points = A, 80-100 = B, and over 50 = C, with no clear time limits ( 6 weeks to 6 months).

There will be 12 units each worth up to 8 points. ( point is about 1 hour of successful work ). Up to 40 points can be earned in projects and bonus activities.

We have bought the hardware, have the software, the telephone line, and for about $10,000 have a first class server ready in MAY !

Then we will have MS backoffice applications for work groups to have a FULLY interactive system.

Then groups can do everything that a LANs can do plus the new high graphics - media programs just out. ( Backstage - VDO etc ). This classroom is looking for synergy with some school to give credit - On the internet about the Internet - Organization development SMART systems - creativity etc. http://www.phoenix.net/USERS/tesmith/HotList/hotlist.html for the new stuff... You need 28.8 and a modern machine .

A great collection of links - Synergy net is there somewhere

I am very interested in suggestions - past level III we have to make it up as we go along - either risky or an adventure depending on your attitude.

LEVEL I Students: Not really connected to the web.

They have E- mail but limited Internet access. Lesson one involves getting connected at the lowest cost and highest quality in their area. Right now I recommend SPRY or WOW ( With or without Compuserve), or AT & T. (I will be testing AT & T this week). Once connected they need a browser, FTP, Chat, and a few other tools. (

The Windows 95 issue still is hanging...)

LEVEL II Students: Have Internet connections, ( this is lesson 2 for Level I students ) and are ready to set up a site and a home page. This unit involves HTML editor and making your own home page which is placed on our site. ( also anything missing from Level I above ).

The FTP enables students to directly access their site and up-load their work.

LEVEL III Students: Have experienced web activities, have a first class connection, and are interested in interactive systems. We start with E-mail groups, ( replaces listservers ), then open web pages, as First.htm is an example. Students download the page, edit and add comments then up load the new material. ( This is lesson 4 for the Level I students, and Lesson 2 for Level II students)

LEVEL IV Research and utilization of the Internet. We will develop several research projects involving the area of interest of the students - How to fully utilize Internet resources - listservers, newgroups, search engines
use "wiredbrain", conferences, I-phone, CuSeeMe, depending on the subject field, education, business, science, applications et al.

LEVEL V: Universal contacts - we will have a WINS peer-to-peer system in beta format ( sometime soon ).. We will set up a virtual network among the students and beta testers.

LEVEL VI: Web editors, servers, .. Now for a server of your own.. We will have our own location ( Domain in May, Maybe ) and do more in advanced Webmaster's skills. I need outside help for this, or I will learn along with the rest of you - learning and doing.

We have bought the hardware, have the software, the telephone line, and for about $10,000 have a first class server ready in JUNE !

Then we will have MS backoffice applications for work groups to have a FULLY interactive system.

Then groups can do everything that a LANs can do plus the new high graphics - media programs just out. ( Backstage - VDO etc ). This classroom is looking for synergy with some school to give credit - On the internet about the Internet - Organization development SMART systems - creativity etc. http://www.phoenix.net/USERS/tesmith/HotList/hotlist.html for the new stuff...

4) Over twenty mirror sites around the world

4) Hundreds of links to Windows 95 resources

Now you have http://www.wiredbrain.net/Newbie.htm in your URL slot on your browser. Click on it and use arrow to get cursor, (backspace will erase the whole address) then remove the /Newbie.htm, enter and you will get the index. On many sites you may want to go and see what the main files are.

The WINSOCK that comes with these programs (including Compuserve) are not TRUE "PPP" connections - you can't open just any service or connection, FTP, second and third browser, chat, terminal, etc. BUT with the script tool - (has to be installed from your Windows 95 disk) or pulled down from Juno then it works great. I will send you the script if you need help.

RE: NOW LISTEN: Internet Connections

It is happening fast. Everyone is a little confused. Here is my understanding of what is going on the internet at the moment. If you really want Internet service the way to go is an unlimited or WOW account for $20.00 with a local dial up at 14.4 or 28.8. SPRY does it and so do many of the 2000 local providers. (http://thelist.com)

There is a vast array of prices many of them way out of line.

There are $9.00 fees for limited service and a hour charge, sometimes quite high, $2.00 an hour. (GNN, MCI are still too expensive) ATT will offer 5 free hours for current long distance users and the $20.00 unlimited. 1-800-967-5464 but...

The software that comes with the program is for Windows 4.11 not Windows 95 After signing in go to /dialer in the /worldnet files find reg.ini or att.sr and open it in a notepad (may have to make copy regini.txt to open) find LOGIN which is a number@worldnet.net and the PASSWORD and paste into a new Dial Up connection ( in My computer on Windows 95)

YOU WANT a direct TCP/IP - PPP, Windows 95, NT 4.5 Internet connection uses a WINDSOCK in Windows 95 that works on all applications, it is the standard. ( FTP, Chat, Newsgroups, Mail, Browsers, (up to 4 or more at a time so you don't have to sit there), CuSeeMe, Phone, Real Radio, )

The junk that comes with most on line providers doesn't work. You need Windows 95 rather that 4.11 with Trumpet or other Winsocks that give you grief (except for the limited uses of the on line service). You need to connect directly with Windows 95 dial up, maybe needs a script or terminal pop-up after dialing, for user and password.

You do NOT want ANY of the on-line services as a provider. You want a direct connection. I can connect to Compuserve and MicroSoft Network from the TCP/IP connection, AoL will not be far behind, rather than dial up the on-line service, I dial a general provider and connect within the WEB to any service free or paid.

The idea is you want to have a phone service that lets you call anywhere. You don't want one that requires you to call only the home office and try to connect to other services from there.

The door ways to services will be from the net not the other way around, from a specific service.

The providers use a variety of "server software" some of which is out of date. Netscape and NT (UNIX) servers work, many local providers have problems with busy phones, down time or poor connections to the Internet. (

They need a high quality line out to the world).

The on-line services can never match a direct connection. If you have experience with them you know what I mean.

The phone companies have a clear advantage in quality of service. When you pick up the phone and dial a number it almost always works. Try that in Moscow, St Thomas or Mexico or on AoL web browser.

MicroSoft, America on line, Compuserve are in a scramble and reorganizing fast. (I forgot Prodigy because they are out of it, as of now.) MS said in December it was NOT going to have separate Internet units, now it just announced a complete reorganization of it's basic service delivery systems and a deal with America- on-Line. Web browsers are getting very powerful and integrate mail, Newsgroups, sound, and action -

The on-line services have no hope of keeping up. SEE Point PCN service, below, for a really active pages.

The interface between MS Office and the web is anything but smooth, mostly it doesn't work at all.

They are working on it. Windows 95 upgrade and Word 7 Internet assistant will work this year so you can browse, edit and use Internet services in a complete package. I don't know if Word Perfect, Novell can catch up.

The game is so fast that once behind, it's almost impossible to get on the learning curve. Even MS is having a fit. WEBEDIT WebEdit by Nesbitt

WEBBER is another excellent http editor at http://www.csdcorp.com/

HOTDOG is a very popular http editor - these guys are good

The powerful idea is a universal file manager and search engine, so can be on the C:/ drive, on the LAN, or on a web site, on another computer, or from a on-line service, ( stock information, libraries, regulations, government services, directories, yellow pages, contacts of all kinds- Standards and Poors, corporate reports ) and all used by MS Office, with graphics, slide shows and auto-visual presentations, phone, chat, really powerful stuff. MS has it working internally and with a few big users but not as a consumer product.

Why Juno haven't made a communications deal with ATT, Sprint, MCI or other telephone company is beyond me.

They have the NT server - Windows 95 interface based on the same operating system. That's the core of the idea and where the mega-bucks are to be made. But as we said, it's all going very fast indeed. AT & T does not answer their mail.

The software that comes with the program is for Windows 4.11 not Windows 95 After signing in go to /dialer in the /worldnet files find reg.ini and open it in a notepad (may have to make copy regini.txt to open) find LOGIN which is a number@worldnet.net and the PASSWORD and paste into a new Dial Up connection ( in My computer on Windows 95)

.

You, or anyone anywhere, can provide firms or individuals with accounting, banking and tax, travel, sales, mailing, advertising, printing, graphics, form processing, educational and training, program up grades, and all kinds of services not invented yet with a smooth interface to MS Office.

The person hits the travel icon and there you are ready to book their trip, or fix their accounts, or process their paper work - from direct access to their files, and you maybe in India or Chicago.

The entertainment services play games, the advertisers sell products, the stores provide direct sales ( no middle people ) but the mega-bucks are in interactive ( virtual office ) systems. Netscape and Sun Microsystems have their own agenda.

Maybe.. AT & T offering home internet services - free 5 hr a month to ATT long distance users - includes E-mail and PPP conection - and $20 for unlimited service - to anyone -http://www.att.com/press/ the news is not on their page yet --1- 800-967-5464 MAYBE the biggest thing to happen to the internet -

The soft ware that comes with the program is for Windows 4.11 not Windows 95 After signing in go to /dialer in the /worldnet files find reg.ini and open it in a notepad (may have to make copy regini.txt to open) find LOGIN which is a number@worldnet.net and the PASSWORD and paste into a new Dial Up connection ( in My computer on Windows 95)

The jump from 15 to 20 to 40 million US users and twice that world wide - a vast software market - http://www.att.com/net/

take a look at what they are up to: MCI and Sprint can't be far behind.

RE: Follow the Money Trail (

The Gold Rush two )

By the year 2000, there will be from 200 million to 1/2 billion users of the Internet, world wide.

They will be in the upper 1/4 of incomes; the technological, and social elite.

They will run their office systems, ( many in home offices ) word processing, data base, spread sheets; internal and external communications, do business, consult, buy News, office supplies ( office depot ), programs, books, and records ( Media Play ), travel services (American Express), banking, insurance, accounting, investments ( Fidelity ), medical information, legal research, ( West Publishing ), consumer products, ( Wal-mart ), special goods ( sports, clothes, all the 100's of catalogs ), and take their classes about Internet applications at the Global Village Schools. MOST of the uses have not been invented yet.

The Virtual OFFICE will let people work in cyberspace with out being there. An organization like Global Village Schools will not be place bound. Teachers, materials, students will all interact in cyberspace.

Maybe 10% of all sales or 2-4 trillion dollars of business ( in current dollars ) will be web based including most computer systems and software, themselves.

The access to this market is by way of office suite software that does the standard functions on the PC and Servers connected into high quality networks. ( ATT, MCI, Sprint etc)

The average office machine and 40% of home systems will have a news service, e-mail, library search, reference services, and catalog sales systems.

The common Office suites, which can now handle columns, graphics, type faces, charts, and data, will work with sound, ( real radio ) color, and all the jazz of web pages.

They will LINK - ( hyperlinks and file managers ) this is the heart of the communications revolution.

Our community college just spent millions on new computers, LAN's ( Local Area Networks ) and Microsoft's Windows 95 and Office as an installed base, and it is already obsolete.

The colleges teaches Word Perfect which has 80% of the current users, but 80% of new systems use MS Office. Office suites ( Word processing, data base, presentations, spread sheets ) WERE the heart of the PC revolution.

These programs handle a wide variety of text formats BUT not hypertext transfer protocol, HTTP, hypertext, HTM. ( H1, H2, H4 so far). Can anyone make MS office 7.0 work on the Internet except MS itself ?

The college should be teaching for the future: Internet suites but doesn't understand much about the Internet itself. It all is happening too fast for HIGHER EDUCATION to keep up.

Therefore the need for Global Village Schools.

If MS office worked right there would be a SMOOTH interface to the Internet.

The reason for Windows 95, ( NT based ) was to make MS office 7.0 work with Internet networks. IT DOESN'T. This e- mail should appear as hypertext and could include graphics ( as attachments ) and real links to web pages. If your are reading this in the Netscape Gold 2.0 mailer: /Newbie.htm is a live link. You can Click on it with your mouse and the web page will appear.

The advantages of working with HTM as the standard, for all office application, are very clear. If MS can't make it work NETSCAPE and Sun Microsystems "Hot Java" will replace MS office with Netscape office. It maybe easier for Netscape to add office products than MS to make it's office connect.

The issue of the on-line services is not important. You build the programs and THEY will come.

HTM has links to anywhere, and is a file management system. Some of the managers used in the Internet suites ( recommended for testing on the Newbie.htm page with auto pilots ) have some of this capacity.

The full integration of data, text, references, e- mail, could make Netscape THE new office product and replace MS and WP. (along with full integration of FTP (file transfer), chat, conference, I-phone, CuSeeMe, sound, radio, and other enhancements).

The REAL COMMUNICATIONS revolution is the smooth exchange from Office Suites to the Internet. Windows 95 is shipping 5 million units a month on new machines, and 1/2 million as upgrades. 60 million units a year on a base of ?? 400 million or 20% new and replacement units ( where do all the old machines go ?) Only 10% of these 400 million (World wide) units have Internet connections - or 40 million. (Many stations have multiple users, like the 1 million students on line). By the end of next year (1997) maybe 400 million units with 20% Internet connections = 80 million Internet users and by - 1998 500 million units with 40% connected makes 150 million people on the web. In 1999-2000 the market reaches maturity at 600 - a billion units with 45 to 50 % connections ( using cable, wireless, high bandwidth systems) or from 200 million to 1/2 billion users world wide --

In any new technology the social and economic impact and uses can not be predicted in advance. IBM in the 1970 saw only a small market for PC, and thought the copy machine only replaced carbon copies.

The full scale of uses have not been invented yet.

The system creates it's own SYNERGY and open market unlike anything that has happened before.

According to Chicago-based consulting firm Mirai, 41 percent of the 550 Webmasters it surveyed created graphics for their World-Wide Web site using Macs.

Apple's share of Internet client and server stations is twice as high as our general market share.

Internet access is becoming an increasingly strong motivator for personal computer purchase.

Over 47% of U.S. home PCs have modem ( or digital connection to replace the analog )s.

The Mac OS is the second most popular OS platform for World Wide Web servers, according to a Georgia Institute of Technology survey.

More than 20 percent of the servers on the Web are Macintosh systems.

The Apple Internet Server won the "Best of the Net" award from Internet World magazine for Best Internet Hardware.

META Group reported in December 1995 that 25% of all Web browsing is done from a Macintosh.

Apple's Web site was named "Best Commercial Site" in the large company category in Science and Engineering Network News's "Best of the Net" contest in its March 1996 issue.

Interactive Age Magazine's Webmasters Advisory Board named Apple's home page as one of the most effective corporate sites on the Internet.

Apple's Internet Connection Kit allows easy Internet access with the click of a mouse.

Looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. Quacks like a duck. Too bad it's a decoy. Windows 95 is here, and Microsoft must be pleased. As a matter of fact, so are we. Because finally, millions of people can get their hands on it and discover this simple truth: It isn't a Macintosh.( And it never will be. Windows 95 is, after all, simply software that runs on other people's hardware. While the Mac has always been a seamless integration of both the hard and the soft stuff. Windows 95 is software that runs on an aging chip architecture. Power Macintosh,( on the other hand, uses an advanced RISC-based processor. (And runs up to twice as fast as a 120 MHz Pentium PC running Windows.*) Windows 95 promises to deliver Macintosh-like plug and play. Yet most people will find they'll need to upgrade both their hardware and their software to come anywhere close to the Macintosh standard established back in 1984. And, it is said, Windows 95 is a great path to the brave new future of 4-D graphics, videoconferencing, speech recognition, telephony and virtual reality. All of which you can get by sitting down and turning on a Mac, today. Windows 95 is ''an edifice built of baling wire, chewing gum and prayer,'' says Stephen Manes in

The New York Times.** In short, if it's imitation duck you desire, there's Windows 95. But if you want a computer that can actually get up and fly, there's still only one way to go. Macintosh. Sometimes http://www.wiredbrain.net/ works better than //metro.

The URL is 204.250.87.44 (Metro) and 204.250.87.46 for (emporium). When you enter index.html there is the index page. which contains this page First.htm, the News page, the Start page (above) open-me, and synergy.

There are also the document files; the main files is /document and under synergy documents several files documents pathos/, (feelings and psychology, mind body materials); ETHOS (education, morals, values and being a person with character - the heart of education ) and LOGOS [ the rational and policy papers about organizations, management, government, theories of collective behavior)

Note: IF these links don't work go back to (Index) and do it by hand - open /document or " and it works. I don't know why sometimes the links work and sometimes they don't.

Note: Case Sensitive Hyperlinks are case sensitive.

The file manager in Windows doesn't show upper case, so when I made ethos, ftp://ftp.wiredbrain.com/wiredbraindocuments pathos/, LOGOS, NEW, and PAGES some of the links don't work because of case. I am replacing and correcting as I find the problem. Another case of live and learn.

The lesson is to use only lower case in file structure. Now since the search engines

use "wiredbrain" like Digital have listing of the locations, I can't just change file names without messing up these references.

The lesson is to be careful with your file structure on the WEB because you are going to be stuck with it. I changed /Pflaump to " and it still haunts me.

( Unstable technology - see below ). A general tip on the web - try several times.

The URL's have to be found and placed in the server. Sometimes the server need to do this more then once. If you don't get a fairly fast - found - waiting but it keeps looking - don't wait try again. I use more than one browser page at a time ( on Windows 95 ) and flip back and fourth if it's slow. One reason I don't have an Index.htm page is to give you practice in open files and how they work. I've looked at the pages with a freenet http (text only), AoL, CompuServe, Prodigy, MS Internet Explorer, Netscape, Hot Java, and they all are different. What I see and experience is not the same as what you see and experience. I depend on your feedback. In the files you will find sample pages, along with icons, and other materials for making your own home pages. A lot more information is on the week before first's page now doc5.htm in the htm files.

This is a place to visit more than once and spend enough time to discover our meaning. It is not completely user friendly - we are working on it. Have a nice visit and let me know what you think ?

SYNERGY-NET on

RE: LOCATION, TRAFFIC, PRODUCT:

The Market on the INTERNET

You can build your site anywhere. BUT..a location (not in geographic terms but in quality of the connection and hardware) like Volant (WiredBrain) or www.quicklink.com offers a 24 hour, seven day a week, high quality connection.

There are fewer busy singles ( the net says not found when busy ) and maybe less trouble.

The process of FTP to remote connection is not difficult. I am in Florida, Synergy is in California. TRAFFIC, most people want visitors, the new ALTAVISTA by Digital changes the whole pattern of traffic on the net. BEFORE, this month you could registrar your site with Yahoo, Excite, Postmaster, Submit-it, and wait (up to a month) to see if and how you were listed. Now ALTAVISTA sweeps 20 billion words from 20 million web pages, files, sorts and checks the files so it can deliver results in 10 seconds.

The many subjects and objects on SYNERGY means it shows up often.. try pflaum (p) synergy, cooperative, interactive, learning, education, reform, policy, business, government et al and we will appear. This generates traffic. When people come to visit it has to be interesting and complex.. some death. Different strokes for different folks, a open air market, a fair, a circus, busy - colorful, active, fun - strange, inside the MALL.. And they have to be able to find their way around without trouble. Now while they are here will the BUY something ? Learn something ? Do something -join in the activity? UNTIL last month, the web was a network of LINKS.. my links to your links. Most homepages are links to other pages. Netscape's Smart Marks and the "suites" are sold on their bookmarks and guides to the net. All this is unnecessary this month because of ALTAVISTA. You can find the most current connection is seconds and all most all of them work. My site is cluttered with internal and external connections, 1000's of them. Now I need a new cleaner system.

There is no reason to ask "where do I find folk tales from Finland" go look on ALTAVISTA - and the long list of search engines on http://www.ionet.net/ ~rowe/aaa1.html search engines

use "wiredbrain", Virtual Tourist, Map, Autopilot, etc. Is a good place to start.

They open from almost everywhere. See Juno search (Juno home page http://www.msncom) I started with web pages in November - I didn't want to learn code and was waiting for a good editor - now have WEBEDITWebEdit by Nesbitt. WEBBER is another excellent http editor at http://www.csdcorp.com/

Word perfect add on was terrible, the Web Assistant for Word 6 (Microsoft did not do Hypertext 4) now Netscape's editor comes with Navigator 2 Gold, which is not compatible with Mosaic browsers like CompuServe. I will get MS Assistant for Word 7 (windows 95) and it has better reviews. I can not get it to work at all.

The tower of babble - a vast network of links - you don't need lists, or even bookmarks - just ask and it shall open, knock and it will answer. Ten billion words in ten million documents in ten seconds - This implies something about how I set up the pages - titles and changes and moves since someone is watching and recording.. SEE It's a mess PROPORTIONAL voting below and on policy.htm Policy Introduction I see what Bill Gates means when he talks about the power of "file managers", where the INTERNET is better organized then my own files.

The Alta Vista of Digital knows more about my files than I do. I am not good at files. I can't find stuff or know what files contain. A powerful search engine does it for me.

FOR EXAMPLE:

The UNUSER FRIENDLY Mass Media!

HI: I am writing this in Word Perfect because I twice wrote in the mail reply in Netscape (tried to save to transfer to the First.htm page ) and it froze up on me. Another example of less than perfect software. It is a beta after all and free.

What you need is a local server (provider - on-ramp) that uses a program that takes advantage of the Windows 95 Winsock using dial up connections. Windows 95 is built on the NT (next technology ) server from Microsoft. It is like a LAN ( local area network ) and has built in ports for HTTP (web browser), terminal, FTP, chat, gopher, ping and pong, etc. If your server (provider of Internet services) has a "modern" program, and a good phone line then the system works fine. If they use a older system ( last year is OLD) or have too much traffic on their lines it doesn't. Big organizations American on Line, CompuServe, and even MicroSoft Network have not gotten their act together, have old Windsocks, lines that jam, are slow and don't provide the range of services.

The function you mention to paste and save files I don't know. Netscape browser, Internet Explorer have save to file function under "files" that save to your C;\ drive.

The page is in your computer in a temp file anyway.

The lack of common standards and protocols - after all the Internet is just a set of convention so the machines can communicate - creates unique problems. To: Edith HermanCc:

RE: SYNERGY NET NEWBIE

Great you are well set up -

The new FTP programs are really easy - the link to where you find them is on the Newbie.htm you will want MIRC42.exe a chat program and WS-ftp42.exe and FTP program. You have a good server - I guess a list is at Http://www.directory.net as well as at http://thelist.com (providers) with a dial up connection from windows?

The point is we can chat sometime on #Pflaump - the ftp will give you access to the site ftp.WiredBrain.net user Pflaump password xxxxxxx (E-mail for password) - so you can up and download files...

There are free suites that contain all of the above - Mariner works - (but not as well as the individual programs)

The NEXT step is hypertext so you can do your own home page. Nesbitts WebEdit  is best that I have found. WEBBER is another excellent http editor at http://www.csdcorp.com/ Word 6 and 7 have Internet Assistant but it does not do what you think it is - the Editor in Netscape Gold - is new and I'm not sure - it does funny stuff I don't understand and causes problems in browsers other than MS Internet Explorer or Netscape.. It's not hard to do pages.

Then I can set you up a place on the WEB.. and anyone in the world can find you after altraVista has done its thing...To: Edith HermanCc:

Site Map Subject: RE: SYNERGY NET NEWBIEFREE FREE don't buy software... its all free downloads... I am posting your letter to First.htm on there is a real problem in learning stuff.. it changes so fast.. I think programs should be self directed - no manuals, classes, all that to do what you need to do. We need a Newbie MagicNet.exe that will do all this for you - zap and the ftp, chat, browsers, are all set up - with menus -

From: Edith HermanSent: Monday, February 26, 1996 2:04 PMTo: Peter PflaumSubject: RE: SYNERGY NET NEWBIEPeter, Your message sounds almost too good to believe! You really got me enthusiastic! I had read up on FTP but the FTP program I have on my local server just does not work for me. (

The old FTP were a pain in the --- you had to know some UNIX) I do not know how "good" my server (dial-up connection from my computer) is since it is my very first venture on the Internet and I lack comparison how good others are (I had a lot of trouble initially and got a lot of discouraging messages- if I got through at all..!).

Fact remains that nobody ever seemed to care about a newbie

on the Internet as much as  you do...in itself a comforting experience!) 

Reading your "Net Newbie Page" was a revelation of things I did *not* know and I will experiment a bit more before I decide to perhaps buy WS_42 (is that a software? Do I have a choice in the matter? Or do I have to accept what my provider provides?? I do not expect you to answer these questions for me but at least I know what questions to ask to ask around for (I attend seminars at McMaster but only PINE is the same - the other programs are different from what I find is available to me on my home computer ) So I will do what I can with your (learning) pages - there may be hope for me yet - I feel already a bit less intimidated - and feel encouraged to ask after I have done what I could! You *are* a nice person! (And must be a tremendous teacher!) Many, many thanks, Edith---------- From: Edith HermanSent: Sunday, February 25, 1996 5:26 PMTo: Peter PflaumSubject: SYNERGY NET NEWBIEPeter,

The most recent visitor to your fabulous and helpful site thanks you for the interesting ftp://ftp.wiredbrain.com/wiredbraindocuments JOURney. Great - I have made a 'bookmark' of the URL! Although I am not quite 'with it' yet, it's a very good place to start! Thank you also for your kind interest: my computer is a 486DX2, 66MHz, I just got (but not the most recent version of) Windows 95.My e-mail and newsserver (discussion groups) are provided by the University,(UNIX System). For recreational surfing on the Internet, my server is WorldCHAT (e-mail EUDORA is eherman@wchat.on.ca). Although I get around quite well on Netscape, I haven't got a clue about FTP, Archie, IRC - haven't determined yet how much of this is a function of my appalling inadequacy and lack of computer savvy, and what could be blamed on hardware, software, server (some sites are not available..)and how much simply to lack of time and of passion for computers...once I can DO something, I am enthusiastic but I couldn't care less about DOS and other intricacies that I can't operate. But I will learn...eventually! You gave me a great boost! Thanks again, EdithPS. No answer necessary!
