Given that the Internet was built by people with a common interest in
technology, it is not surprising that scientific information tends to
predominate.  Thus, an overview of science, research and technology on the net
must, almost of necessity, be a limited glimpse of what is there.
 
Even so, I found myself objecting, quite frequently, to either the descriptions
or to items left out of this compendium.  Something *must* be left out, of
course: a book containing all the scientific information on the net would be
too big to carry.  On balance, I would say that this work is as much fun, and
as useful for the non-specialist, as the other works in the Osborne "IYP"
series (and they are, indeed, useful and fun).  Those who can count themselves
as "Internet Old Timers" might find that they already have a good handle on
science on the net.
