ACKNOWLEDGMENTS None of this would have been possible were it not for the pioneering efforts of Richard Smith. His "Navigating the Internet" workshops opened a new world for thousands, and Richard is truly a pioneer in distance education. I would like to give a special thanks to my father, Bob Crispen, for all of the support -- and, more importantly, all of the money -- he has given me over the years. He is a great editor, a wonderful speech writer, and I am proud to be his son. Managing four lists with a combined subscription of over 40,000 people is an incredible task, and I could not do it without the help and support of the entire staff of the University of Alabama's Seebeck Computer Center. I especially want to thank Dr. Joyce Donley for being able to answer my never-ending stream of questions, and Darren Evans-Young, the UA1VM listmaster, for his ability to magically solve, with just a few keystrokes, every problem that I seem to get myself into. I would also like to thank the University of Alabama's College of Arts and Sciences for their continued support. While I worked on the workshop, Becky Florence from the College of Arts and Sciences handled the media for me (although I still don't know how she got a story about Roadmap printed in a paper in GUAM!). I also want to thank the University of Alabama's Department of Housing and Residence Life for letting me use their computers earlier this year; Lori "Gypsy" Nottingham for always being there; and Trent Reznor and Eddie Vedder for giving me something to listen to. Finally, a special thanks goes to the Roadmap Beta Testers -- the people who helped me with the final edit of this workshop: Jason Ohler, Frank Meoli, Dennis Sutch, Wayne Marr, Martin Meltzer, Karl Signell, Ian Mayor, D.
