The Windows Users Group Network (WUGNET) was founded in 1988 and

is the oldest and largest independent online organization

supporting the Microsoft Windows environments.

As a result of all these years of Windows support WUGNET offers a

great "Tip of the Day" site. But not only that, WUGNET maintains a

3) FREE EBOOK - As You Like It - by William Shakespeare


As You Like It is considered by many to be one of Shakespeare's

greatest comedies, and the heroine, Rosalind, is praised as one of

his most inspiring characters and has more lines than any of

Shakespeare's female characters. It is believed that As You Like

It was first performed between 1599 and 1600 and first printed in

1623 in the First Folio.
