Title: An Eddy In The Technological River
Review: This book is useless to anyone able to use an internet browser. I love the style, but it disguises a useless waste of paper. Two years ago, this would have been a marvelous book. Now you'd be better off flushing your dollars down the tube. If you connect to the internet via DSL, this book won't help. If you connect via a dial-up and want the latest firewall configuration, this book won't help. If you want to know about primitive hacker attacks or where to buy outdated OS CDs, software available in newer versions on the web, this is the book for you. (The book's website, touted on the backcover, in the book, and on the publisher's website, is a stupid mess. It does not contain the information the book says it contains and consists largely of empty pages linked together. Polite questions and requests to get it together go unanswered. Give it a try, and you'll see what I mean.
Is the review positive or negative?
