PoorRichard’s Good Advice
With all great new things comes a proliferation of hucksters and snake-oil salesmen, and the Internet is no exception. The antidote to this swirl of confusion lies in Peter Kent’s Poor Richard’s Web Site. The analogy to Ben Franklin’s volume is appropriate: the book is filled with the kind of straightforward information the Founding Father himself would have appreciated.
