Customer Reviews

Easy reading and personally empowering...

Can this be a 'serious' computing guide? Yes, it is. Sandy weaves lots of clear-spoken, practical help for the layperson with a very inspiring view of what computing can do to expand your world. The title does indeed capture the essence. We teach at-home computing for Seniors; this book paves a nice path for our work.

A Great Book For Computer Users

I read your book and find it quite enjoyable. While most computer books are boring, yours is not. I hope you will do another someday.

Terrific Guide for All People who own a computer

This book helped me with a number of computer problems. The author makes it easy to read and easy to find information.

Finally a book about computers we can all understand!

Sandy Berger is one of us. She understands that not all of us are computer geeks, yet nearly all of us have or will soon have a computer. This book is written in easy to chew bytes and makes the process of purchasing and maintaining a computer system something other than a horrible experience. This book is a great way to discover what all the interplanetary terms and acronyms salespeople smirkingly throw at you while wandering around a computer store. SCUZZI? Local Bus? PCMCIA slots? Flash BIOS? The average buyer knows not of these things. I liked the way this book takes you by the hand and gently guides you through the maze of the computer world. I'm a self-taught, read-as-you-go, experiment-at-will designer and have learned software without professional guidance. And there is much basic computerese I have missed along the way. My suggestion would be for all of you out there who are either considering purchasing a computer system or have one but are fairly clueless as to REALLY understanding what you have at your fingertips, to purchase this book immediately, read it from cover to cover, and sit back smugly with a cup of coffee, secure in the knowledge that you now are at least as smart as your computer.
