1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, not worth your time and money, March 8, 2002

By	Ahsan Majumdar (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is about 110 pages and almost 40 percent of it is filled with maps, and the author seems to repeat the same thing over and over, it is a very poorly written book with very little information. I have a computer related degree and i had a hard time understanding what he was trying to say, i wonder how one with no computer background would feel like. Anyways my recomendation, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME
