Does what it says on the cover.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet: Millennium Edition: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
I'm not a novice with the internet and this book does help with understanding the net and its ups and downs. I would recommend it to beginners and the more experienced net users who wish to create their own sites or just for interest.

Best buy for the money, I have seen.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet: Millennium Edition: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
I am 70 years old, have used the `Dummie' and `Idiot' books, plus several more. Not having ANY experience with computers, up until 2 years ago, I go where I please and do what I want, thanks to the good books on the markey. This book, was the most expensive; but by far, the most helpful! (My wife thinks so too.)

Highly Recommended!,
By Astrogildo A. Guetsa - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Internet: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
If you are looking for a general, introdutory to intermediate-level Internet book, this is THE ONE. It will give you a good grasp of Internet concepts. You'll find it quite up-to-date (including Windows XP topics), accurate and concise. Specially interesting is the fact that it provides you with clear explanations throughout the pages, including lots of helpful examples and procedures, giving the "how-to" for many, many tasks within the Windows family of operating systems and the major software packages available for Internet.
Internet connections, Web bowsing, e-mail, chatting, newsgroups, security issues and so on, are all well covered with lots of real-world tips. Notes: 1.Being for the beginning- to intermediate-level reader this book does not cover advanced Internet issues such servers, firewalls, network OSes, and so on; 2.The book comes with no CD-ROM (what in part, explains its reduced price) In short, if you read my observations and found this to be the kind of book you are looking for, I assure you: You will not be disappointed. One more thing: I'm using the book to prepare for CompTIA's i-Net+ certification and I can tell you that I find it to be one of the best references books out there for that target. Thanks Margaret (et al) for writing such an excepcional book. from Maputo, Mozambique, an Amazon's customer Astrogildo A.

A truly excellent book!,
By Margaret L. Young "Another computer book author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Internet: Millennium Edition: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
I paraphrased a chapter from this book, by Margaret Levine Young. It is truly excellent. It was a Christmas present. ...:-(. There is a chapter entitled _Classic Applications_ which covers UNIX Shell Accounts. There is also a phenomenal amount of info on the history of Usenet! A truly excellent book!
