There are many different things you can do with the net. I have already explained Streaming, but what about games..  Games are always fun, sence 1996 most games have had the abbility to play on-line, Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer Red Alert, Quake, Quake2, and specialy developed for internet play Quake3.
Now, you can play games on webpages. These use a computer language called Java. Java is
"cross platform" which means you can experience web based games on any type of computer opperating system,  Linux, Windows 95-98, MacOS..
