5.0 out of 5 stars So much I didn't know--so much I learned!, November 3, 2003

This review is from: TechTV's Technology Survival Guide (Paperback)
Having had good college results in I.T., I thought I knew as much as I needed to. This book woke me up to the speed at which I.T. moves. I picked up a lot of information--simple, user-level stuff, but useful and practical all the same. I can once again call myself ``well informed``.

I particularly enjoyed (& got benefit out of) all the fun stuff--stuff that my busy and technophiliac brain ignored because it looked so simple & frivolous. Before this book, I never knew how to find MP3s on the Net--now I can indulge in a orgy of free music any time! (see page 220). Imagine the fun I missed out on. No wonder geeks are looked upon with some disdain.

And sure, there's quite a bit here for the geek, and the geek to be. It covers an introduction to Linux, showing what questions to ask yourself before taking the Linux plunge, yet making it clear it is nothing to be feared.

All-in-all, a very readable, useful book.
