Remember also that most users are using the very versions of the operating
system you choose to ignore. Also remember that there are less security
problems with Windows 9x and more with 2000 & XP and this makes your book
worth even less. It is pointless to ramble on about VPNs in Windows 9x dial
up networking etc. when the vast majority of users with new computers will
be using XP. Your out of date advice will only serve to further muddy the
waters for the new user you claim to be helping.

What three levels? Dumb, Dumber and The Trackers?

>remember that we were changing between DHCP, PPP and dial-up every few

Hilarious! Do you even know what these terms mean? Please explain how you
might use DHCP to connect to the Internet or how you might establish the
same connection without PPP? A proper explanation in your own words might
just give you some credence around here.
