Windows Vista for Dummies ?

Shouldn't that be "Windows Vista IS for Dummies" ?

Thumb Down

Remove this book!

I had the misfortune / stupidity to buy "Greetings in Jesus Name!: The Scambaiter Letters"

Scam baiting should be left to law enforcement... or even to El Reg, not self appointed, smug git!

The stories aren't even amusing, I stopped reading after the author had made a young lad get a tattoo, was being SERIOUSLY threatened by the tattoist who wanted paying.

the lad wasn't even scamming, he'd asked for money, not tried to do a 419 scam!

In the end, I came away with the impression that the real loser was the author.
