4.0 out of 5 stars IE 5 for dummies, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Internet Explorer 5 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)

Well, this book gave a great overview of IE 5 for beginners. And also explained the ins and outs of the web. Some more info on Outlook Express would have been useful as a companion email product.

5.0 out of 5 stars This "Dummie" isn't so "dum" anymore!!, September 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Internet Explorer 5 for Windows for Dummies (Paperback)

I can only say that if you have any questions about how Internet Explorer 5 or Outlook Express works, this is the book to buy!
It's index is in an easily identifiable format with cross references galore. Any 10 year old could easily understand the clear, consise, and detailed instructions, explanations and graphics but for those of us still intimidated by the Cyber world this book takes away the fear by giving step-by-step answers and I found the answers to all of my questions!!
