Summary: Great intro to net surfing!
Review: "Zen and the art of the Internet" is the first book I have seenfrom Brendon Keyhoe's pen, and it's a winner! Those of us whowatched the computer revolution pass us by, will find lots of basic, introductory info on the internet, it's history and how to connect. He gives thoughtful, careful, complete descriptions of the various internet components, such as TCP/IP, telnet, ftp, and gopher. Looking for a quick, understandable method of composing your own web page? The appendix, alone, covers web authoring concepts in just a dozen pages or so; I've seen books (such as "HTML for Dummies") waste literally hundreds of pages with useless, technical details the average user could care less about. Need an easy to understand, yet thorough intro to net surfing? Get "Zen and the Art of the Internet"!

Summary: Hopelessly out-of-date
Review: If you're using Amazon, you don't want this book. It's pre-Web and explores such topics as FTP etiquette and sending email from a VMS command line. Unfortunately, the rating system does not allow zero stars.
