REVIEW: MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES  Levine & Young   IDG Books  1994


If you enjoyed INTERNET FOR DUMMIES, here's more for you.  After a quick 
refresher course on the basics that were well covered in the first volume,
MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES expands on several topics and covers new areas
to give the moderately experienced user new skills and knowledge on
advanced Inter-netting.

To be sure, there's a certain amount of duplication, but I found enough new
material to make this volume worthwhile in its own right.  Authors Levine
and Young provide detailed coverage of some of the commercial on-line 
services that offer Internet access such as Delphi and America Online as 
well as public UNIX providers.  There's a chapter on using Windows software
to cruise the Internet as well as chapters on Trumpet (a great newsreader)
and Eudora (an easy-to-use mail reading pgm available for both Windows and
Mac users).  MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES even tells you how to grab your own
copy of the shareware version of Eudora right off the net!

Other subjects expanded from INTERNET FOR DUMMIES include HGopher, WINWAIS,
Internet Relay Chat or IRC for short, as well as updated and detailed
World Wide Web coverage as well.  There are a lot of little tidbits, called
"Fun and Silly Stuff" and "10,000 Interesting Things to Do on the Net"
to keep you busy for days.  Finally there's a pretty comprehensive glossary
that will intrepret the buzzwords and jargon and translate it to plain,
understandable English.

MORE INTERNET FOR DUMMIES is a post-graduate course on mastering the Internet 
and would be of particular interest to anyone using Windows and the programs
that run under it to access the Net.  It is well written with humor and 
includes more Rich Tennant's 5th Wave cartoons which are delightful as
always.  Not only is it enjoyable reading, you'll learn something too!
