Re: Home Networking Simplified (Score 1)

The author of this post made one mistake many tech savvy people do. Those of us that work in the fields of information or computer technology, work with and around technology constantly. Being around technology all the time can create a false sense that some of what you know is "common knowledge." However, there is still a large portion of the masses who are computer illiterate. It sounds like Dohtery and Anderson aimed this book at complete "newbies." Thus, "simplicity" in this case is justified. While the number of people who own and operate a PC at home is relatively large, I'm betting few run a home network. In fact, many of the people I am alluding to never heard of /. ;-)
