The Internet All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies
Kelly Ewing · 2002
28/100
👎 Skip It
This was a genuinely useful one-stop reference back in 2002, written by a solid team of For Dummies tech authors. But two decades later the browsers, sites, and directory listings it covers are almost entirely obsolete — its usefulness today is historical curiosity, not practical guidance. Skip unless you're after a nostalgia trip.
