Having previously laid to waste marriage, Japan, home ownership, and American history, it was only natural that Dave Barry would turn to the final frontier: cyberspace. The self-confessed owner of more than 20 computers since the early 1980s, Barry has plenty of amusing and accurate complaints about them. And when the occasion calls for it, he can be reassuring as well: "The truth is that if you take a little time to learn a few basic principles and some of the technical lingo, buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth. So let's get started!" Indeed. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of of this title

Book Description
"RELENTLESSLY FUNNY . . . BARRY SHINES."
--People

A self-professed computer geek who actually does Windows 95, bestselling humorist Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious hard drive via the information superhighway--and into the very heart of cyberspace, asking the provocative question: If God had wanted us to be concise, why give us so many fonts?
