Reader Reviews
Create your owk wiki? Find coupon codes? Music way cheaper than Itunes? Bittorrent files? Want to text your friend money? Skype? Bluetooth? How are we supposed to know everything we can get out of the internet? We didn't learn it in school and one would feel dorky for buying Internet For Dummies. The cool thing about this book is it answers every question you ever had about using the internet, and the cooler thing is it answers questions you wished you ask. The tone is breezy - never boring or didactic. There's a lot in here for web neophytes and a lot for people that consider themselves web experts. You can tell the author's labour of love is getting the most out of the internet, and he's filtered that love into a mind opening reference book. It'll be next to my computer for a long time.
