1.0 out of 5 stars Would have been useful 15 years ago., January 12, 2009

By	Brandon Heat "I am Brandon Heat" (ROK) - See all my reviews

Though printed relatively recently, this book reads as though it's 15 years old at least. Gosh, we have hypertext now! And chat rooms! Isn't it amazing? This is seriously all this book has to offer. Steer clear of it.
