I love this book. It's a hilarious parody of Microsoft, computer industry conventions, and those awful computer books that one might buy at Waldenbooks or Barnes and Noble. For example, one of the clauses in the License Agreement at the beginning of the book grants the reader the following right:

Storage. You may store or install THE PRODUCT on a storage device, such as a nice maple bookcase, used only to store other books, knickknacks, and miscellaneous clutter, provided the device is not networked to any external bookcases. You must acquire and dedicate a license for each device on which THE PRODUCT is stored. Such license is automatically granted by placing THE PRODUCT on the shelf.

Mr. Bunny's Guide to ActiveX is the perfect antidote for anyone who has had the misfortune of reading a book intended for dummies or idiots, or who has spent too much time being frustrated by MS Windows. Recommended.
