Hello Angus... I bought over the years, Dos for Dummies, Windows for Dummies,
and recently Creating Web Pages for Dummies and all have been extremely3~
helpful because they give infgformation and answer questions that newbies have
and cant seem to find in normal docs. Why Because most documentation always
assumes that the reader knows a lot more on a subject than theyt do... sorry
about the typos... my back space isnt working *(maybe a blinged up config here
somewhere). Anyway the Dummies books fill a void and help a true newbie get
info wiothout aoppearing to be a complete rube before evereyone. DARN I have to
finsd out how to get destructive backspace working.[3~
