Well, I hope it's documented. At least there's
a NETSCRAPE for DUMMIES
book I
can give someone for Christmas. How difficult is it to learn this iCab? I
don't want to have to learn it in order to teach someone else. Is it pretty
intuitive? (that way I can answer questions on the phone and have some
chance
of guessing right.)
If you can browse the web, you can operate iCab. You probably will never
find a book on iCab, because it doesn't need one... it works, and it
works in the most obvious of ways (type in a url, or choose one from the
hotlist menu). It doesn't suffer from bloatware, so there is nothing to
get lost or confused with. If you can read, you can work iCab (and you
need not have to read a specific language, as it is available in a bunch
of them).

Well, that's a "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" question, since
the
person to whom this box is going hasn't done any web browsing. My own first
experiences were with NetCruiser (Netcom) and with MOSAIC (NCSA), aside from a
couple of cripling experiences with LYNX. After using LYNX, by the way, I
switched to a shell-based interface via Win3.1x called ICOMM. That worked OK,
considering.
