Wow, I'm a bigger nerd than I thought

So, as you know, I am fairly active in user groups.  One of the things I do is to facilitate book giveaways AND reviews of those books.  I always pass these along to the members of my local group or on to the groups in my region that I represent.  I never get a book myself and review it.


Until now.


Cheryl Martinez with Apress always sends out the emails with the new titles seeking reviews.  I always pass them on.  This one I replied for a book that I was interested in, On the Way to the Web, The Secret History of the Internet and its Founders by Michael Banks.  It looked pretty cool to me and I figured what the heck?

So, as I read the forward by Orson Scott Card and am hooked (note to self, find more of his writings).  I am plugging away at the book.  It is not at all a chore, it is really enjoyable, I just don't have a ton of time on my hands.  This is a great book for anyone (hmmmm, high school students perhaps) that needs to know or be reminded of the times way back when.  This goes back even further than by own BBS in the early 90's.  ;-)


Stay posted for more details as I make it thrugh the book.
