The Global Network Navigator (GNN), our free Internet-based  information
center, is up and running.  GNN consists of a regular  weekly news
service, an online magazine, The Online Whole Internet  Catalog, and a
global marketplace containing information about  products and services.

Global Network Navigator is an application of the World Wide  Web (WWW),
developed at CERN in Switzerland.  Most of the current  development on
World Wide Web technology is centered at the National  Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in Champaign, Illinois.    NCSA's
Mosaic is a World Wide Web browser available for UNIX systems  with beta
versions for PC Windows and the Macintosh also available.  Any World Wide
Web browsers can be used to access GNN as well as other network services
such as gopher and WAIS. 

What's in the first issue 

The premier issue of GNN Magazine assesses the public interest  in tapping
the potential of the Internet. The U.S. Government seems  to be looking at
the Internet as the model for a National Data  Superhighway. This
infrastructure can work for many people, including  businesses, but just
how will it work and who will pay for it?

Some interesting factoids 

 *  GNN has 600 (not around, not approximately, but 600 on the 
    nose) outside links  

 *  GNN has 5,088 internal and external links

 *  GNN has 44,978 lines, 230,703 words, and 1,918,553 
    characters.  If we printed this out on a printer getting 60 
    lines per page, we'd see a stack of 749 pages, probably about 
    3 inches thick.
