Review:
The subtitle of this book, "The FAQs of Life Online", refers to a common form of online documentation and reference. A list of "Frequently Asked Questions" list basic and common questions that people have, along with (supposedly) expert answers. FAQs are generally undergoing constant maintenance and updating. They are periodically reposted to specific topical groups and discussion lists, and are often accessible by various other means. Savetz maintains a number of such lists, so it is natural that his Internet guide is written in this style. Question 1.2, in the introduction, in fact, asks whether the world needs another Internet book. He feels that his guide has a distinctive, and that the question and answer style makes a fundame...

Review:
"Zen" is, itself, one of the very widely known and highly regarded resources on the net. It was also the first introductory guide to the Internet published in popular book form.

Those who are not happy with concepts and only wish to know what button to press may find the book frustrating. Mail,... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This is complete documentation for the Z-mail mail user interface for UNIX. It covers the command line, full screen and X displays and commands. In addition, there are tips and shortcuts, as well as chapters on customization, scripts, and macros. The material is clear and fully explained. Tips throughout the book are identified by an icon. More technical sections of the book are written in a more technical manner. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995

Book description
With Me++ the author of City of Bits and e-topia completes an informal trilogy examining the ramifications of information technology in everyday life. William Mitchell describes the transformation of wireless technology in the hundred years since Marconi--the scaling up of networks and the scaling down of the apparatus for transmission and reception. It is, he says, as if "Brobdingnag had been rebooted as Lilliput"; Marconi’s massive mechanism of tower and kerosene engine has been replaced by a palm-size cell phone. If the operators of Marconi’s invention can be seen as human appendages to an immobile machine, today’s hand-held devices can be seen as extensions of the human body. This transformation has, in turn, changed o... Rest of this review on the detail page
