Customer Reviews

Dummy approved

I purchased this for the lady of the house, an admitted newbie, raw recruit clueless computer user. I set up a computer for her in the living room, put my old dusty copy of Win98SE in it, told her to consult the book and not me should she have a question, and turned her loose. The book has done a admirable job answering her questions. A couple of months after buying it, I thumbed through it, and it did the same for me. This dummy thinks it's great.

Useful, accessible, and reassuring

Last year I switched from Mac OS to Windows 98, and after reading the paltry scraps of instructional material that came with my expensive new system, I hurriedly bought a few books to supplement all that I didn't know. This homely book turned out to be the most useful one. It is full of good information, patiently and compassionately conveyed. The entire "Dummies" series is burdened with chaotic graphics (little dartboards, hand icons with strings tied around a finger, checkmarks, a little man) and a schoolbus look for the books' covers. If you like a book to look good on the shelf (always a nice plus) you will have to make a cover for this one. Highly recommended, though, for the neophyte Windows user.

Windows 98 for Dummies A Big Winner

Absolutely positively the best book yet for Windows 98 beginners. All the "stuff" you need to get you started. Guarantee that if you read and use this book you will have all the basics you need to move around and operate Window 98. Newer addition also includes Second Edition of Windows 98. A must for beginners especially. Pay real close attention to the tips they give you.

Simply put---Excellent!

Having little or no experience with Windows, this book was a Godsend for me. It clearly explains all of the features of Windows98 in terms that even this newbie could understand. While I'm far from mastering, this book makes navigating less fearsome, and I always keep it at arms length.

Converted a Mac user to a PC user, easily, painlessly!

Having owned six McIntosh computers, I was dreading the uncharted territory (for me) of the Windows OS. After buying a PC and staring at it for the weekend, I purchased Andy's book. Not only did it tell me everything I needed to know, it was lots of fun to read. His sense of humor walked me step-by-step through the most convoluted tasks (and there are many!) on my new computer. I highly recommend this book for both PC tyros and know-it-alls.
