A wonderful book

Before I read this book I knew nothing about the inner workings of a computer. This book explained everything you could possibly want to know about a computer in terms which the computer illiterate could very easily understand. I have plans to buy a computer sometime in the near future and now I know exactly how to read a computer ad and what all of the terms in the ad mean. Most importantly I know what I want my computer to have on it when I purchase it, and I understand what RAM, processor, harddrive etc mean. If you plan to buy a computer and don't know a thing about them, run as fast as you can to buy this book bfore you even walk into a computer store.
