1) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. Yesterday I installed Eudora and followed the tips in the book. I´ve also used the book to find help for friends with e-mail and/or Internet problems. I´m new to the computer and "Internet for Dummies" has helped me in the quest to be an
e-nerd.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. An excellent read for the internet novice and the start of my dummies collection. You were right about TUCOWS, a good site if you can stand the cow puns. I received my very first e-mail message from your site´s mail-bot.
" C´ web et moi " Thanks¤ 3) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. An excellent read for the internet novice and the start of my dummies collection.

" C´ web et moi " Thanks¤ 4) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. It is an almost 90 minutes clear audiotape recorded in 1995 describing all these terms dealing with the web, internet. It start with definition and description (www, homepage) a new way for communication, it open a network of networking. Brief details about history of development. Requirement for usage: computer, and greatly details the advantages and disadvantages of each provider. Also talk about the huge benefit such as looking for college, or even education online. On the other end talk about inappropriate content of internet and different methods for parental control, and touch on the "addicted to". Also give few details about etiquette: do not flame, SPAM. Despite being 1995 information. But most of them will hold true and correct for many years, and I found them very informative despite being familiar with majority of them, but it was fun to get an idea about what internet was in 1996, and get helpful advices about different provider and security. I rated four stars only due to 1996, had I heard it then it deserves five stars easily.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. I have several dummies books, from how to build a PC to CCNA. I had to read this rediculous book when I worked for a very well known DSL provider on the East Coast. This book was trivial, assumes that you are completely mindless and plugs certain products and services shamelessly. Yes, I agree, Hot Bot is a pretty good search engine...but it is not the only one out there. This book has technical incosistansies throughout and is basically a really really long advertisement. Easily the worst dummies book in print, and Im not being a jerk, I love dummies books, Ron Gilster rocks, but this is absolute crap. You can honestly get more informed with a magazine.¤ 6) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. Everywhere you turn, you can find traces of the Internet. Household products, business cards, radio shows, and movie credits list their Web site address sites (starting with “www” and usually ending with “dot com”) and their e-mail addresses. The Internet is a new communications technology that is affecting our lives on a scale as significant as the telephone and television. Some people believe that when it comes to disseminating information, the Internet is the most significant invention since the printing press. If you use a telephone, write letters, read a newspaper or magazine, or do business or any kind of research, the Internet can radically alter your worldview. When the first edition of The Internet For Dummies debuted in 1994, a typical Internet user was a student who connected from college or a technical worker who had access through work. The World Wide Web was so new that it had only a few hundred pages. Now, the Internet includes a hundred million people, connecting on their own nickel from computers at home, along with students ranging from elementary school to adult education. The 8th Edition of this perpetual favorite focuses on the parts of the Internet that are of the most interest to typical users, such as The World Wide Web and how to find things there, including how to use Netscape and Internet Explorer Ins and outs of sending and receiving electronic mail (e-mail) Ways (and means) to shop and chat online An inside scoop on publishing your own home page The real deal about downloading from the Internet The Internet For Dummies, 8th Edition describes what you actually do to become an Internaut (someone who navigates the Internet with skill) – how to get started, what you really need to know, and where to go for help – all in easy-to-understand terms and a helpful, friendly, fun-loving tone that´ll make your Internet travels a real treat!¤ 7) Paperback Book The Internet for Dummies by For Dummies. Even if you´re not a dummy, the sixth edition of The Internet for Dummies is one of the best user´s guides to the Internet now available. Many so-called Internet books are nothing more than printed collections of Web addresses, but John Levine, Carol Baroudi, and Margaret Levine Young recognize that deciding to use the Internet involves financial commitments and computer-hardware decisions as much as it does looking at neat pictures. That said, don´t expect to set up your own e-commerce site with this book, and don´t expect to find step-by-step instructions for starting your computer. But do expect to get some good advice about picking an ISP (Internet Service Provider), protecting your privacy (and your kids), and connecting with Windows or a Mac. The authors also do an exceptional job of explaining such terms as PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and what it is for, and they even talk about the old Unix shell account (with a Lynx text browser) for those not getting a PPP account. You´ll find tips for optimizing your browser for speed, building your first Web page, managing e-mail, subscribing to mailing lists, and, yes, shopping. What is most impressive, however, is the balanced approach the authors take in evaluating Web sites (they do give some Web addresses), online services, and browser software. They offer the pros and cons and let you sort it out. They also include their own Web address so you can look for updates to the book and check on their latest favorites. --Patrick O´Kelley¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
