Many people enjoy Internet access but few actually know how to make their cyber habit pay for itself. The average user doesn't realize that the Internet is really a Capitalist's dream. This book is written for the average computer user, who wants to make his/her Internet habit pay for itself, and a little bit more. In this book, the author has answered questions that other books have ignored. For example: How can you find out if your potential son-in-law has a criminal record? If you're an employer, how can you determine how much time your employees are wasting sending e-mail to friends or surfing those hot, forbidden Internet sites? What if you wanted to set up your own lucrative website, but some things aren't allowed in your home country? Where can you get name-brand software cheap or free? After you make some money, how can you keep it from the ubiquitous tax collector? The truth is out there, if you know how to get it. You don't need to break any laws getting it either.
The information in this book is applicable for residents of Canada, United States and Europe, but everyone can learn something from it. This is a wake-up call to bureaucrats who think that they can keep their citizens from seeking better business opportunities elsewhere. It shows novice Internet surfers how to get what they want without having to learn how to speak Geek. The author has programmed a disk to accompany the text. Readers can use this disk, with any web browser connected to the Internet, and they will be able to visit the informative sites discussed in the book. It is designed to be simple and easy to follow, requiring no typing skills whatsoever.
