title: What is this thing called 'Internet'?
abstract: According to a survey conducted by the Australian Journal of Nursing in 1994, 43% of nurses owned personal computers and another 28% were considering the purchase of one in the next year. Given such a high ownership rate, and the interest in the 'Net' itself, some understanding of the fundamentals of online computing and the Internet would seem timely.
