Electronic romance is very real--people are meeting, courting, falling
in love, and getting married, just as people always have, except some of
the initial steps take place online. With over 30 million users on the
Net, there's a pretty good chance of meeting that special someone online,
if you know how to go about it. Love Bytes shows you how.
Everything from buying a modem and hooking everything up to exploring
the "date-iest" nooks and crannies of BBSs, the Internet, America
Online, CompuServe, and other major online services.
Love Bytes is also filled with dozens of inspiring true
stories involving online lust, intrigue, sex, marriage, divorce, and
even a one-month old cyberbaby.
Featured on or in MTV News, CNN, Mutual Broadcasting, CBS
Radio, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Atlanta Constitution, The
San Francisco Chronicle, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, Computer Reseller
