Getting to Know Windows 98
Lesson 9: Displaying Web content in individual windows
content, according to a schedule that you set up. You can configure
Windows 98 to automatically deliver the new content to your com
puter. For example, you can schedule the latest financial news to
be automatically downloaded every night while you sleep, and it
will be ready for you in the morning.
You can subscribe to any Web page that you visit. At the time that
you subscribe to a Web page, decide whether the new Web pages
are to be automatically downloaded to your computer. You can
save connection time and expense by having your subscriptions
downloaded so that you can read them offline later at your leisure.
DEFINITION: Download means to receive a file transmitted
over a network. In a communications session, download
means receive, upload means transmit.
Off line means not connected to, or not installed, in the com
puter.
Or if you do not want the information downloaded to your com
puter, you can be notified in the following ways when new content
is available:
♦ Smart Favorites
Your subscription is automatically checked for updates—the
icon changes if the page is updated. You can view the icons for
your subscriptions in the Subscriptions folder.
♦> Email notification
A copy of updated Web pages with live links to the World
Wide Web can be automatically sent to you as email.
To subscribe to a Web site:
1 In the My Computer window, go to the Web page to which you
want to subscribe.
2 On the Favorites menu, click Add to Favorites.
The Add Favorite dialog box appears.
