Publisher Description

When Dave Barry goes mano a mano with the Information Superhighway, it's guaranteed to be a rip-roaring adventure. This self-proclaimed computer geek and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist starts with the motto, Never read the instructions, and slides from there into the world of hardware, software, Windows 95, and the critical issue of RAM (the bottom line is, if you're a guy, you cannot have enough RAM). He also shares the wisdom he's gained from forays into cyberspace, including how to use Internet shorthand to chat with total strangers who may be boring and stupid, and a wide selection of very unusual Web sites.

"Although in some ways this book is hopelessly out of date (he talks about modems and Windows 95), in other ways (computers are still obsolete almost immediately) it's still relevant. And, obviously, still really funny. This also contains the famous semi-fictional scene of his romance with his current wife."

    " This was a quick one hour CD of Dave Barry's book - which is sadly way out of date now. It started funny, but lost the plot half way through. "

    " Very funny. Written about 1995, so a little outdated though. I wonder if he is coming out yearly with a new version of this book so he can make more money just like Bill Gates does? "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " I couldn't stop laughing throughout this entire book -- it was like the Erma Bombeck of modern technology (modern in at least 1996, which scarily enough, while technology has advanced since then, many aspects have stayed the same). "
