Synopsis

Everybody wants their internet experience to be as hassle free as possible, and this guide shows how. All of a sudden, everyone is getting or trying to get broadband.

This book provides a comprehensive and jargon free guide to being online in Ireland, from choosing an internet access package to booking holidays to avoiding internet viruses and scams. It begins with the very basics, and also gives ideas for people already online, but who feel there's a lot more they could be doing with the world wide web. Casual and accessible, "DOT.IE" is full of helpful graphics and screenshots tailored for the Irish internet user.
