Rating: Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME Review: 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.

Rating: Summary: I think this book is fantastic! Review: I like things explained in plain English, and it's funny too. I got started and online the first day.
Rating: Summary: More useful for a newbie Review: I love the "Dummy" books, although I think they are a bit overpriced. Maybe I was a dummy, but I purchased this book after being on the internet for over a year. I guess I was hoping to learn things I had no prior knowledge about. For me, this book basically contained info I already knew. Don't be a dummy like me. Purchase this book while you are a newbie, otherwise you will be wishing you had better spent your money.
Rating: Summary: This book was very helpful and informative to me Review: I really enjoyed the way the authors of this book organized the book. They did it in a very constructive, humorous, and effective manner. I found learning more about the Internet very easy. I wish I could meet the authors. They seem very interesting.
Rating: Summary: Loved the cover and relatively jargon free excellent speak! Review: I'm just this year getting to grips and got connected to the internet. I'm great on the phone and face to face.

As a net virgin I will have a spunky home page soon.Yours Sincerely Alison Jones
