Summary: Well Rounded - User Friendly
Comment: This is a great book to begin to understand the "ins and outs" of the world wide web. Some of the topics are a little "dated", but still provide useful advice. This book is great for anyone who wants to learn certain nuances of the net and what is lying just beneath the surface. Savvy net users will even find a trick or two in this volume to assist in "tweaking" their net experience. Take a chance and try to learn something new. This book has something for everyone. Recommend!

Summary: Good for non technical people...
Comment: This book is just very basic common sense advice about how to stay safe on the internet. It would be a good book for your grandmother who is just getting on the internet but for more experienced users there is no meat here at all. With that said it should be pretty obvious that this book is not aimed at computer professionals but is only aimed at the very casual computer user who wouldn't know the difference between a packet sniffer and an irc client.

Summary: A must have for anyone living around computers
Comment: This is just a book that was worth every cent. The amount of info in this book is a steal. Everyone should buy this book, technical or not. If you have ever used a computer period, get this book. Help yourselves by finding out about what is out on the internet and computers. Protect yourselves better with the wealth of info and be more resource full. I found things in this book that I have been looking for for months and things I realize could make my life easier. I recommend this book to every tech I work with and every non tech. Even non technical people got intranced by the book. I read the whole book in 1 day easy and still review it everyday when I am looking for stuff.
Customer Rating:
Summary: outdated....
Comment: This book is extremely outdated and most of the programs are from 1998-1999. The programs located on the cd are completely useless, and the book itself is only semi-interesting at best. This book is good for someone who is stupid and does not realize there are many other better computer books out. I bought this book from [a book store] because it looked good, but now I realize why they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best underground Information ever!
Comment: Anyone with any type of computer should own this book!
