5.0 out of 5 stars WebTV Made Quick and Easy, April 8, 2000
By 
This review is from: WebTV for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
As a WebTV employee, Renee knew precisely what WebTV subscribers need to know to "get-up-to-speed" with WebTV. Renee explains the many functions of WebTV in clear, precise detail. Her "Quick Reference" will become your first source for WebTV information.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not smart enough to be a dummy., August 2, 2001
By 
Hugh (Laramie, WY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WebTV for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
While Gentry's book has useful information it lacks some very basic information which is essential for the new user of WebTV. How about pictures of a keyboard and a remote indicating the function of all keys other than letters. For instance, wouldn't it be nice were there a discussion of the "option" button and what appears on the screen when the button is depressed.
