Rating: Summary: This book explains Webtv and the internet in plain english. Review: I purchased a WebTV plus in January of this year (after a disasterous couple of months with RCA). In the infomercials "plus" is touted as simple. This is maybe true for the younger generation who are raised in this world of hi-tech. Us older folks who were raised with the hand cranked phone it wil always be a miracle. After some frustrating weeks realizing I was not using the internet's full potential I decided to buy a book to help me. The bookseller recommended "WebTV for dummies" and that qualified me. Brad Hill not only explains everything in plain english he does it with a good sense of humor. I have only one question, it seems sometimes that the end results in the book are for the classic and little is said about the plus unit. Maybe another book will be written exclusive for the WebTV plus.
Rating: Summary: MY BRANE HERTZ!111!!! Review: I was going to use it as a coaster or to hold up the weak leg of my coffee table, but it disintegrated into eight billion tiny bits the second I got it out of the box, a good 67% of which caught a draft from an open window, and flew back to the publisher, screaming something about humanity and humiliation and rubber socks, I think.I was going to give it half a star, but God told me not to.
Rating: Summary: A Must Have Review: Nothing more then a tv guide. Since I've been on line I'v ran into multiple, numerous, problems that are not addresed in this book for dummies. This book is no help. The book is dumb! don't waste your hard earned. It dosen't tell you how to use it..it just tells you what the internet is. DUH! END

Rating: Summary: Correct Printer - page 73 Review: page 73 states "any one of the HP deskjet 400 or 600 series printers can be used with webtv classic or plus". this information is not correct! ONLY the HP 670TV will work! Please correct this error in the next edition. Otherwise this book should be required reading for all webtv users.

Rating: Summary: the best thing for a dummie Review: This book is the best thing that happened to me because I was a total dummie with the net, then I decided to get the webtv for dummie book and it was a lifesaver it answered all my questions.This my second book through IDG and I'm very happy with both purchases and recommended it to my friends. Thank you IDG.
Rating: Summary: Good book for novices Review: This Dummies book has enough information to get you started with WebTV. It is concise and easy to understand. My mother is now enjoying her WebTV using this book as a guide, and she is a newcomer to the internet. If you are timid, this is the book for you.
Rating: Summary: Good, for sombody just starting out on WebTV. Review: This is a good book for people who are just starting out on WebTV. I would suggest getting the book the same day you buy your WebTV. If you can figure things out very easly (Such as WebTV) I wouldn't recomend getting this, but you may want to just in case. But, for sombody who has had WebTV for awhile and knows about all the features, don't waste your money like I did. All it tells you is how to use everything. ~Bobo100
