"Networking computers together continues to be a daunting subject for the computer novice, so we've seen many different approaches to the subject. Home Networking Simplified aims for a middle of the road approach, neither oversimplifying the subject or being too technical and dry. The technical details behind home networking are covered as well as the procedures involved and steps needed to secure a network and protect sensitive eyes from the dangers of the Internet in full colour. Both Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000/XP systems are covered by the book.

Retailing for US$24.99 (CDN$34.99), this 393-page soft cover book falls into the lower-priced category of computer guidebooks, which certainly makes it an easy addition to your tech library.

The format of the book combines well-spaced informational text with separate, colour coded informational bars. Technical procedures are done step-by-step and illustrated with full colour screenshots for both Windows 98/ME and Windows XP environments where appropriate."
