Fancy a quick murder? Julian Ellison and Terrance Dicks had the
bright idea
of teaching people how to use the Net through an interactive adventure. Solve
the logical and technical clues in Murder on the Net (BBC Books,
£16.99,
ISBN 0 563 37199 4) and you’ll gradually improve your Internet skills. Me, I’d
rather have a straightforward manual. But if you’re learning for fun, rather
than necessity, try it.
