EASY TO READ

This book is very informative ad even enjoyable to read. It has been a big help and explains things so anyone can understand.

Basic But Beautiful

This book is about the very basics of computers, but it completely covers all parts of a computer, inside AND out.

A need to buy for poeple who want to learn about computers

This is a great book to read! I thought that I knew computers, but reading this book I've learned that I didn't. Now that I have read this book, I have helped my friends in many way. Heck, I have helped MYSELF!

Great book to help you understand the basics.

As a novice, I really enjoyed this book. It lets you understand the basics and build your skills from this point. I would recommend it to any reluctant novice who may be overwhelmed by the thought of turning on a computer. I almost did not buy this book, and I am SO GLAD that I did! It gave me quite a bit of confidence as now I do understand many terms such as what my C, D and A drives are for.
