Abby Stokes

Plus, this new edition delves further into the online world to cover search engines and web navigation, information on online banking, shopping, travel planning, and dating. It covers security issues, "netiquette," instant messaging, and blogs, and there's an entire chapter devoted to digital photosÑtransferring them from camera to computer and sending them as attachments. Abby StokesÑwho has a gift for taking the terrified by the hand and teaching old dogs new tricksÑbranches out into other essential digital accoutrements: cell phones, iPods, and Blackberries. A companion website, www.abbyandme.com, offers a safe place to practice and keep learning. Appendices include recommended websites, a resource list, and more.
