Summary: Dummy and Dumber
Comment: Yesterday I installed Eudora and followed the tips in the book. I've also used the book to find help for friends with e-mail and/or Internet problems. I'm new to the computer and "Internet for Dummies" has helped me in the quest to be an
e-nerd.

Comment: An excellent read for the internet novice and the start of my dummies collection. You were right about TUCOWS, a good site if you can stand the cow puns. I received my very first e-mail message from your site's mail-bot.

Summary: excellent audio introduction.
Comment: It is an almost 90 minutes clear audiotape recorded in 1995 describing all these terms dealing with the web, internet. It start with definition and description (www, homepage) a new way for communication, it open a network of networking. Brief details about history of development. Requirement for usage: computer, and greatly details the advantages and disadvantages of each provider. Also talk about the huge benefit such as looking for college, or even education online. On the other end talk about inappropriate content of internet and different methods for parental control, and touch on the "addicted to". Also give few details about etiquette: do not flame, SPAM.

Despite being 1995 information. But most of them will hold true and correct for many years, and I found them very informative despite being familiar with majority of them, but it was fun to get an idea about what internet was in 1996, and get helpful advices about different provider and security. I rated four stars only due to 1996, had I heard it then it deserves five stars easily.

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
Comment: I have several dummies books, from how to build a PC to CCNA. I had to read this rediculous book when I worked for a very well known DSL provider on the East Coast. This book was trivial, assumes that you are completely mindless and plugs certain products and services shamelessly. Yes, I agree, Hot Bot is a pretty good search engine...but it is not the only one out there. This book has technical incosistansies throughout and is basically a really really long advertisement. Easily the worst dummies book in print, and Im not being a jerk, I love dummies books, Ron Gilster rocks, but this is absolute crap. You can honestly get more informed with a magazine.
