Customer Reviews

For newbies only ...

If you have NEVER used a personal computer before, are unsure what a "cursor" is, get completely confused when relatives tell you to "drag that file to the XYZ folder," and feel like an idiot when asked to select an item from a "pull-down menu," this is the book for you. As it happens, such folk do exist -- my sister is one of them, and I bought this book for her for all the foregoing reasons. It has relieved her anxiety about computers dramatically. After all, where do you go for help if you've never heard of a "Help menu"? What do you do when your well-meaning sibling tries to explain things, but keeps using noises like "cursor" and "menu" as if you were fluent in some peculiar foreign language?For its intended audience, this book does a fine job. But it's NOT for anyone who can already work a mouse, choose actions from a menu, or point a cursor at an object.

Easiest to understand

I am totally new to computers and I have many Dummy books and otherwise for my OS., but I was still having trouble understanding the 'helpful' books, til I got this one. She writes simply for a newby to understand yet covers what all the other books did, and shows enough pictures to guide you along. I'm sure there are many other books that are fine for someone who is more familiar, but this one did it for me. Thanks.
