I was completely new to the whole AOL experience when I purchased this book. I read it cover to cover in two days. It was very easy to comprehend and I loved the way John Kaufeld added humor throughout the whole book. I refer to it on several occasions and usually find something new to experience that I missed before. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is starting out on AOL who needs simple but complete guidance.
It was GREAT!!

John Kaufeld is the best computer author I've ever read. His book was knowedgable and informative. The best thing about his books is that he updates the book every time new AOL software is released, so I can ALWAYS read the latest stuff. I spend a HUGE amount of time on AOL, and I even learned some stuff I'd never known before! I would also reccomend his Online Games book, also in the "--for dummies" series.
This is a reference to the online service, America Online

I thought that this book was one of the greatest books about Amercia Online ever. I think that the book gave many in depth and detail and easy explainations to all of the problems and things that are on America Online. One of the things that What I really love was when they explained about the MAIN.IDX file, and why that is the file that builds up space on your hard drive. It also explained to me how not to download deadly viruses that can totally tear up your computer. I feel bad for the person who wrote the book because not may people have the America Online version 4.0 YET. At this current moment, that is the version that is explained in the book, The Book also explains about the chat rooms and how they work. Well, now all of the icons and the Art work of the chat has changed, and looks better now. But for a person who just started using the Preview version or the full version of America Online, they may think that they are in the wrong chat room.
