Amazon.com Review

Are you ready to go beyond web surfing and truly understand the vast resources of the Net? This is your book. Chock full of hints, guidance and the sort of information that comes only with many years of experience, the authors cover it all. Plug-ins, mail clients, web sites, older tools like Archie and Veronica, ISDN, security, data searching, UNIX mysteries, shell accounts -- there are few things you could possibly run into online that aren't explained here. For Windows, Macintosh and UNIX users. Includes a CD-ROM with lots of shareware and utilities.

This review is from: The Internet Power Toolkit: Cutting-Edge Tools & Techniques for Power Users (Paperback)

This book cleared up a lot of mystery for me. I had been
a Macintosh user of the Internet for 2 years or more, but
did not know the basic operation of networked computers. Neither did I know how the connections can be made with a modem and a Windows/Intel based computer. This book cleared up both those problems for me. It is large, nearly 1200 pages, but does not need to be read from cover to cover. The author does recommend the reader review Chapter 3 as a basis for proceeding on, but the book can be used over and over as a desk reference. A CD-ROM is included with software for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms
