"User Friendly For the Novice"
A great guide to using that computer you've finally bought. Clear and concise directions in layman terms that are almost fun to read and put to the test.

"another winner"
Having had some experience on computer I am not a complete novice but close enough. This book is in understandable language and very easy to implement. It has been the most helpful tool I have come across. Kudo's

"Quite a well done "
The nice thing about this book is that it is very clear that the author has 'been there, done that.' As he writes he talks about things like surfing the web and when he does he gives pointers about things like viruses and other malware.

Although I've been involved with PC's for a lot of years, he has much more experience in many aspects than I do. For instance, I've just gotten tasks to do with digital cameras. He has several chapters on working in this area that told me a lot about what I needed to do. I was also impressed with his discussion of the new Vista operating system. I haven't moved to Vista just yet, but it seems that sooner or later it will be required. Reading what he had to say gave me the heads up on the system.

All in all, quite a useful book.

"An Excellent Help For Beginners"
I borrowed this book from the library and found it so helpful I bought one. I am fairly new to PCs, having had several years experience on Macs and needed help with various aspects of operation, maintenance, etc. I use this book as a reference book and study guide and have adopted the suggestions in it for routine maintenance. I have used other resources but in my opinion, this one is the best.

"I Would Use This to Teach My Beginning Course"
I teach Intro to Computers at a local community college. I wish this was our textbook! It's easy to read and comprehend without getting too techie. The range of topics covered is incredible. Mr. Miller keeps the explanations simple, sometimes humorous without the clutter you find in the Dummies books, and layed out in a format that is easy on the eyes and the brain. I recommend this book to my beginning students to complement what we cover in the Intro class.
