"Can be enjoyed by any"
While The First Week With My New PC was written for the author's 85-year-old mother who is now a PC master, it can be enjoyed by any - including business managers who have resisted the lure of the computer screen. From how to watch the stock market and produce a document to emailing and formatting work, this is packed with fine basics in simple language any can readily understand.

"Buy this book for your parents!"
If you're like me you've been spending a lot of time on the phone trying to get your parents hooked up and diagnosing their computer problems and questions via long distance. This book will reduce your phone bills! It even answers the questions your parents are too embarrassed to ask you! Great humor and down to earth instructions for anyone new to computing. Very well thought out as to the type of "problems" new users may run into ("Where is the "any" key? The computer keeps asking me to hit any key."). I highly recommend!

"Great First Guide for ANYONE Getting Their First PC"
The BEST guide for PC users and for people helping others with their computers. It not only gives simple to follow instructions for doing the basic computer tasks, but also does it with a lot of humor. Really funny in unusual ways and a great read -- the flow of the book is logical. Everything relates easily to what one primarily wants to do with a computer. This book takes the fear out of working on the new machine. It answers questions that the other books do not even consider as important to the inexperienced and also the experienced computer user. The glossary is the most complete one I have every seen. The index is really good and helps you find the the things you need easily, without having to know a lot of computer terms. The appendices are truly helpful divisions of information. The best part is the step-by-step chapter in the back for each task. I wish I had this book when my mother got her computer as it would have saved me a lot of time on the telephone. This is the pre-dummies and pre-idiots book that we all really need.
