1) Hardcover Book Case of the Killer Bugs (Digital Detective Mysteries) by Topeka Bindery. It is a shame; I went to the link given in the book and couldn´t find the book or the claimed log in. Other than that the book has a pretty good plot
about kids solving a computer crime of pirating and a virus.
It was so right on about how petty people can be in the high tech world.
Sort of Animal Farm with the pigs being over age delinquents.
Computers really weren´t originally made for games or making music either.
These kids are in the era before the first Internet bust...¤

2) Hardcover Book Case of the Killer Bugs (Digital Detective Mysteries) by Topeka Bindery. This is a very cool story because you can read and play the computer at the same time.¤

3) Hardcover Book Case of the Killer Bugs (Digital Detective Mysteries) by Topeka Bindery. The web & book are cool. Make sure the a pop-up is down.¤

4) Hardcover Book Case of the Killer Bugs (Digital Detective Mysteries) by Topeka Bindery. Just got it for hanukah. I liked it. The site appears to be working again. I´m a digital detective.¤

5) Hardcover Book Case of the Killer Bugs (Digital Detective Mysteries) by Topeka Bindery. The basic premise is that to read this book and solve mysteries you must periodically logon to their website. Depending on what happens on the website, you will be given the page number to continue reading the book.

All we get from the website is "http Error 500--Internal Server Error". Can´t create a User-ID, can´t explore clues, and therefore cannot reasonably continue past page 22 of the book.

Interesting that a failure to maintain a web-server can instantly render useless all previously sold related product (books). I´m not aware of anyone destroying a product-line quite so quickly and easily before (though I´m sure it´s happened).

Why did I rate this w/ only 1 star? Maybe because Amazon doesn´t offer an option of "Minus 10 stars"...

By the way, you can ping the website and get a decent turnaround time (about 150 to 170 milliseconds for us), but don´t be mislead--it appears they are continuing to have catastrophic and unrecoverable problems w/ their server.

Oh, one more thing. I clicked on their "contact support" link and sent an e-mail describing the problems. The e-mail bounced back: their support e-address is no longer working (I presume it did at some time).

So, don´t waste your time (or your parent´s/children´s time). Until this site has been up and running succesfully for at least 6 months to a year, I wouldn´t trust it.

Needless to say, just my humble opinion...¤
