The Complete Idiot's Guide to Internet Privacy and Security

I was looking at the table of computer bargain books at Books-a-Million, which is a store I've visited twice altogether. I'm on page 63 now which probably isn't a helpful fact since I'm not going to bother checking the total number of pages and edit my current page number according to the extra pages in the book. It's not bad for something directed towards people who don't know anything about the internet. There's still things to learn.
I completely forgot to watch the Wimbledon today. It's so annoying with dial-up when you realize that all these important websites are so complicated that it takes forever to load. (www.wimbledon.org)I don't usually watch important tennis matches but it would've been something interesting to do during the long, uneventful day that was unfortunately interrupted with a dentist appointment. But without that appointment, I wouldn't've found a nice book to buy and a Spanish joke book that teaches you extra vocabulary and also has the jokes in English. There's a cartoon on each page with something written underneath it. Fortunately, I already knew the vocabulary at the beginning of the book that you're supposed to know before you go off and learn more. This probably seems like a completely mundane way to learn Spanish but I wasn't planning on doing anything extra over the summer but I know I'll need a little vocab boost if I want to take AP in the future. Not that we(meaning people at this school) have good chances of passing.
