Great for Beginner's of any age! December 26, 2008
I recently purcahsed my first PC desktop computer and have been working from a laptop for over three years. I had been a MAC user for years but a change in jobs pointed me toward te PC. This book describes things that I wish I had known three years ago for laptops but also is helping me with what to do and not to do for the PC desktop. It is simple and to the point but somewhat fun to read for a manual/reference book. It compares laptops and desktops and Vista and XP. Haven't finished reading the book but have read several chapters and have skimmed a few more. I like the tips, stop and notes on the side of the pages--they get your attention. Would like to loan it to some friends and maybe my father but I don't want to have it out of my hands for fear of not getting it back. Guess I will have to see if there are any used or even a new one if someone wants to borrow it.
Perfect for my needs. November 16, 2008
I needed an easy to follow, yet comprehensive textbook to teach a class called Fundamentals of computers and the Internet. This book is simple, yet covers all the information a first time computer user needs--without being condescwending like the "For Dummies" series.

Good book for beginner, if you are just learning get this book.There are things in this book that took me years to learn by trial and error unfortunaely for me I only learned a couple of new things, but it did give me some certainty in what I did know. However Im now looking for a intermediate book which is what I really needed.

The book lives up to its reputation as being a beginners guide. Good resource for those now getting into computers. And, it also has some good steps for Vista too.
