JULY WINNER - The winner of NorthNet's Three Free Months Contest for the month of
July was Karl Altmann of Morrisonville.
Upon being informed of his winnings, Mr. Altmann said, "Thank you very much. I am very
happy to hear the news. I have enjoyed the NorthNet service very much ever since I switched
from AOL in January '99."

YOUR COMMENTS - We at NorthNet enjoy hearing what you have to say about your

"Everything is great. Fast service helps me in college. AOL was too slow."

getting into the Internet."

LEARN FROM THE NET - Personal Computer Columnist Reid Goldsborough has some tips
where you can turn to on the Internet to learn about the Internet.
"About-the-Web.com (www.about-the-web.com) is more of a home-grown effort, and truer
to the Internet's heritage. It's not slickly designed, but it includes lots of information and links for
newcomers, as well as entrepreneurs and Webmasters. Be careful though, about ads that are
hidden within the instructional material."
