This spring 2001 edition is actually 20 pages fatter than last year's. We'd like to think that part of our success is due to the value we provide. Instead of exalting dot-com millionaires and the wonders of the Web economy, we simply approach the Internet as a useful tool for everyday people. After all, the Web is not shrinking, it's growing. In fact, for every dot-com that folds under the weight of its flawed business plan, there are thousands being started.
Web usage is up significantly all over the globe.
And that means that we BOTW editors have our work cut out for us. In this issue we serve up a plateful of useful features, from the stock picks of online investors who thrived in last year's stormy market to fun and addictive PDA games, like Dope Wars. There are also more than 200 site reviews, from tax planning and alternative investing to collectible cars. Check out our travel section .
