WOW! WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH WEBTV!!!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS BOOK!!! I'VE HAD WEBTV FOR 2 YEARS AND NOT UNTIL A MONTH AGO WHEN I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS BOOK DID I HAVE ANY IDEA OF ALL THE THINGS I COULD DO WITH WEBTV. LIKE SET UP A WEBPAGE, KEEP A SCRAPBOOK OF IMAGES FROM THE INTERNET. HAVE ACCESS TO 6 ACCOUNTS GIVING ME LOTS MORE SPACE FOR MORE SAVED IMAGES AND WEBPAGES. I CAN ADD MUSIC TO MY WEBPAGES ALSO. I DONT' FEEL SO LEFT OUT OF THINGS (NOT HAVING A COMPUTER) NOW. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND IT!

Dummies Books Are The Best!

I have been reviewing many of the "Dummies" books for the past year, not only the internet ones, but also those on other subjects. I find them entertaining and written in such a way that the writer seems like a friend looking over your shoulder, guiding your steps."WebTV for Dummies" was a lifesaver! I wanted to do more with my webby than just surf the net and chat, and "Dummies" showed me how to find what I needed. The "cheat sheets" are great; a fast, easy-to-find guide that I don't have to search through the whole book to find. This was the first reference book I bought after I got my webby, and probably will be the onlyone, unless they come out with another!Go, Dummies!

A Must Have

I bought this book in January of 1999. I did not know anything about the web and this book answered all my questions in an easy to read format. I then let my mom borrow it as she just bought webtv plus. She wouldn't be without it. It is a book everyone can use.

Good resource for the Dummies in us all!

After having Webtv for two weeks I needed something like this. I was totally lost until received my copy. I am surprized that Webtv shippers don't pack a real guide like this. On screen helps are no help if you have to back-track a great deal. To save time.One key item was the 20 yellow pages of http address for Webtvers; Key items like where to find graphics and so forth.I would have gotten rid of my Webtv unit if t were not for this book.

the best thing for a dummie

This book is the best thing that happened to me because I was a total dummie with the net, then Idecided to get the webtv for dummie book and it was a lifesaverit answered all my questions.This my second book through IDG and I'm very happy with both purchases and recommended it to my friends.Thank you IDG.
