Review:
There are no surprises in this introduction to the Microsoft Network (MSN). Like all the books in the Dummies series it's clear, funny, simple, irreverent, and free of technotalk. The style is breezy and personable, as if a good friend were walking you through MSN, showing you just enough of everything so that you get the idea and moving on before you get bored. Lowe has grouped his 25 chapters into seven parts--each introduced by one of those great Rich Tennant cartoons. Part one provides a rapid overview of MSN and describes how to sign up, connect, and move around the service. Part two demonstrates the main information and entertainment areas of MSN, from MSNBC news to various special-interest areas covering music, home matters, self-improvement, kids stuff, financial resources and more. Part three shows how to interact with other members through real-time chats and bulletin board-type forums. Part four focuses on MSN online activities, such as shopping, managing investments and planning travel. Part five demonstrates how to step out onto the Internet, complete with Lowe's recommendations of Internet sites not to be missed. Part six tells how to customize MSN. (Parents whose children will be using the service should pay special attention to the section on parental controls.) Part seven deals with things that are most likely to go wrong and how to avoid them.
