The WWW (World Wide Web), and the browsers that support it, is a remarkable fabric of information threads that span the world. The WWW is not without shortcomings:
-- High-speed data connections are a requirement. Connections at 14,400 bps are a bare minimum.
-- WWW browsers are not universal Internet/Usenet interfaces. Mail support is limited, and there's no real support for Usenet news.
-- Connections made over normal phone lines using SLIP and PPP can be difficult to install.
-- The WWW data is not organized. There is no Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress system for organizing information on the WWW, and finding specific information can be frustrating.
-- Support for WAIS (Wide Area Information Service) databases is still limited.
