A perfect book for anyone who owns a personal computer, uses one at work, or is thinking of buying one. Using a unique combination of full-color illustrations and plain-English explanations, Lisa Biow helps new PC users conquer computerphobia and tame this complex, powerful machine so it not only ceases to intimidate but actually makes life easier.

Contrary to popular opinion, computers are hard to break. There is no combination of keys that will break the machine. Shy of dropping the computer on the ground...there is little that is irreversible or even more than annoying.
You finally bought a computer; now what do you do with it? This book is an excellent entry-level guide to all phases of computer use. How to assemble the hardware, install and configure software, and operate the system are thoroughly explained. Differences between the most popular systems are outlined to assist you in choosing the best computer for your needs. Packed with eminently understandable, full-color illustrations, you'll find all the information you could obtain from taking classes in basic computer operation, DOS, Windows or Macintosh at a savings of several hundred dollars (and your time). I gave a copy to a computer-illiterate friend and changed her from "computer-phobic" to "computer junkie" in a matter of days! -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Joyce Baker
