Great Book for Beginners

When my parents finally bought a computer, they also purchased this book. On the day my mother could explain Windows 98 to me, I bought a copy for myself. Simpson's book lives up to the claim that it is a friendly introduction to the basics. The author assumes that the reader has little or no prior computer experience, and the book may be used as either a tutorial or a reference. Simpson knows not only Windows 98, but also how to communicate it to readers. If you're new to computers or tired of just getting by in Windows 98, try this text. Illustrations, keywords in boldface, and marginal highlights make the material easier to find, learn, and remember. Additionally, there are chapter-end summaries. I also enjoy having room to make notes in the margins. The content includes: understanding hardware and software basics, organizing windows, managing files, using the web, getting e-mail, printing, troubleshooting, etc.
