1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Darn Bad, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO SURFING THE INTERNET WITH WEB TV (Paperback)

Did anybody pay attention while producing this book? Why wasn't it fact-checked? In the tables comparing WebTV Classic and WebTV Plus, the information is completely reversed! Not just in one table, but in all the comparison tables showing price and features. Newcomers especially should stay away from this book. Try the WebTV for Dummies book.
