- I haven't seen this mentioned here anywhere yet, so here goes.
-
- Dan "BLAZEMONGER" Barrett, frequent poster to all the Amiga
- Newsgroups and moderator of c.s.a.reviews has authored a book
- and it's now available:
-
- "Bandits on the Information Superhighway" is the title.
- O'Reilly and Associates is the publisher.
- 1-56592-156-9 is the ISBN number.
-
- http://www.ora.com is the publisher's Web site which has lots
- of information about it, including the table of contents and
- a picture of the cover.
-
- The book is a 200+ page look at the myths and truths about
- the "evils" of the internet, usenet, the web, email, etc.
- How to spot and avoid scams, spams, thieves; how to buy and
- sell safely on the net; how to get into and out of net
- relationships; the real truths about net "porn" and so on.
-
- It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it, especially
- to net novices.
-
- So good going, Dan, and I hope you do well with it!
