Review:

For anyone frightened or frustrated by the complexity of the PC, How to Use Computers offers the first step to opening the door to technology. It's a big, colorful, friendly guide filled with everything from cartoon-like screen shots to winking wizards. Lisa Biow doesn't just launch into the basics of word processing, she provides a more comprehensive background for how to coexist with computers. For example, topic 1 is titled, "Computers Are Not Fragile," and she encourages readers to play around with their systems. Making mistakes and exploring are fine ideas, she extols. She eases readers into fundamental concepts, such as the difference between hardware and software, how memory works, and how to copy files and folders. For those who are unpacking their first PC, How to Use Computers is a reassuring beginner's guide. --Jennifer Buckendorff
