  The web browser is becoming more and more integral to our lives, so it makes sense to use one that works well for you. Included with this overview are quick looks at browsers you may want to consider. (8/1/2001)

• AOL - A Quick Look
  AOL is a comprehensive Internet tool, especially useful for newbies. But, it's not what we normally think of when we think of a browser for use on OS/2. (7/25/2001)

  Opera is the browser to watch says Dave Watson, SCOUG's resident Internet guru. (7/21/2001)

• Can't Get Much Faster than Instant
  Instant messaging is an Internet tool that let's you know who's on-line the same time you are, and lets you and your friends communicate with each other in real-time. Author Dave Watson suggests this is a resource OS/2 users could find really useful. (1/22/2001)
