First, there is a comprehensive glossary of more than 1,250 contemporary computer and Internet terms explained in easy to understand language. There are more than 60 illustrations so readers can have a better understanding of particular words.

In the second section of the book there are articles on, How to Shop for a Computer, The History of the Internet, The Scoop on investing online, online travel, Cyber shopping, Avoiding Internet Frauds and scams, eCommerce, Search Engine tips, Special key functions and more. There's also a section for fun stuff like finding Easter eggs in programs and Websites (Easter Eggs are little surprises programmed into some software applications and Websites that are fun to track down), a huge list of smiley's and chat acronyms and more.

Finally, there's a huge section with more than 150 computer & Internet tips and tricks covering everything from file management, making emergency boot disks, and protecting your PC, to creating shortcuts, fast booting tricks, dealing with bugs and viruses plus a lot more. As an additional bonus the book includes a list of more than 200 of the absolute coolest Websites on the Net offering everything from entertainment and free stuff, to enormously useful software, utilities, maps, calculators, outrageously funny stuff, and much more. Each site is profiled with a vivid description of the main features of the site. The book is written with the beginning-to-intermediate computer user in mind.
