REVIEW:  USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB by Bill Eager  QUE Corporation 1994
ISBN: 0-7897-0016-6   paperbound 648 pages  $27.99 USA  $38.99 Canada

Without a doubt the World Wide Web is the fastest growing and probably
the most innovative and exciting part of the Internet.  This book is
devoted exclusively to the Web and will teach you how to master its
full potential.

Not only does USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB teach you how to use the Web, it
also shows you how to find the information you need through reviews and
listings of many Web sites covering subjects ranging from business,
education and computers to news and sports.  Also included is information
on how to use several of the more popular Web browsers like Cello and
Mosaic. 

Some other topics include a chapter on how to create a WWW home page and
gives us the basics of HTML, Hyperlink, adding a graphic to your home
page, and many other neat tricks. 

Finally, Mac users are not left out - there's a chapter on using Mosaic
for Macintosh, so this book will appeal to them as well.

I found USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB to be an excellent guide to using this
exciting Internet utility.  Its packed full of information, hints, advice
and tips to bring the casual user up to speed.  I recommend this book to
all who are interested in improving their WWW skills and increasing their
net knowledge.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
