emphasis on Internet/Web

For neophytes to computing, the authors give a gentle introduction to the main popular usages. Nothing too complex. But they show how easy it is to browse the web and to use email. These are still the first two killer apps of the Internet. The emphasis is on "gateway" in the title. Namely that if you have a computer hooked to the Internet, a vast amount of information and interactions become possible. From music to movies to social networking websites and more.
