How to Use the Internet

Summary: Great for beginners but you NEED GOOD EYESIGHT
Review: I bought the fifth edition about 3 weeks ago(June 15,2002)wanting a structured approach to Internet instead of my haphazard random approach; yes, the text is STILL valid in 2002 for the Internet for all the fundamentals for a beginner( I am a beginner) BUT YOU WILL NEED AN EXCELLENT EYESIGHT TO READ THE COLOR PICTURES; the text next to the pictures is easy to read but the screenshots of the computer monitor(screen) are way too small. That is the only reason I gave him four stars instead of five. Great book for beginners, you can complete a chapter per day easily in one hour in general with a lot of pleasure in discovering you understand everything. The How-to-Hints section are really more directed to advanced users, but surprisingly a beginner can understand and use them as well.GO FOR IT BUT GET SPECIAL LENSES TO VIEW THE SCREEN PICTURES.

Summary: A nice guide for new Internet users
Review: This is an easy to use book for complete beginners who want to start using the net. I'm going to send it to my mom, who just got a computer for Christmas and wants to use e-mail and ebay.
