Great book for anybody interested in computers

Leo Laporte does a great job each night hosting a show called the Screen Savers, on Tech TV. Now he has also done a great job writing a book. Poor Leo's Almanac is basically a calendar, with something useful written for each day. There could be a windows tip, a technology quiz, a mac tip, or just about everything. There is also handy reminders on backing up your data (something I need to do a lot more of). Leo writes in a very understandable way. Even though I think this book would be best for the newbie/novice computer user, anybody could really benefit from the information. I've ordered a copy to give to a family member that is just getting started in computers, with this book anybody can become a "geek."

An excellent book for the novice computer user or true geek!

The book is designed to be read a little at a time, beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending on the last day of the year 2002. However, I picked it up to skim through it and could not put it down! A very good book! It is full of very useful information that is helpful to new computer users, MAC users, and even the true geeks who think that they already know most of what they need to know. There is something in it for everyone! This is a book that I will read again and again. It is also a very useful resource I am sure that I will turn to from time to time. I highly recommend anyone who has a computer, or plans to get a computer read this book!

Excellent work Leo... Great book.

I actually found your book at my local B & N and can't put it down. I then bought a copy for my parents and several non-geek friends. The tips in this book are priceless and could help many newbies.The only problem I see is that with the rate Microsoft moves, some of this will be outdated by the end of the year.Anyway, kudos... and I look forward to Leo's next book.

Great for the new geek!!

I just picked up Leo's new book. I'm a huge fan of him in general so I knew I would enjoy his book. I didn't go through the book like I was supposed to, I just read the entire thing. I am a huge geek so I didn't learn tons from the book. But Leo didn't write this book for people like me. He wrote it for the average Joe who checks their email and chats. THIS BOOK IS PERFECT FOR THEM. Tips abound in this book. Pluse you get the insite and whit of Leo and we have all known and grown to love. If you are an Alpageek and want to learn a lot from this book it may not be for you but if you love to tweak and tinker and you are the average PC user then GO WITH IT!!

I already read January thru March!

Your suppose to read Leo's book starting on Jan 1, 2002, and then each day thereafter is a tip or trick till the end of the year. Well, I have already read thru March! I couldnt put it down.....This is a great and fun book if your a fan of Thescreensavers or not it doesn't matter, get this book....SAVE TECH TV....
