The Windows 98 Textbook: Extended Edition is a thorough introduction to the Windows 98 operating system. It is organized to provide flexibility in choosing topics and the order in which they are presented. Starting from Chapter 1, terminology and techniques are introduced. For students who require more general information about a computer's hardware and software, they can find it in the Introduction. Each chapter, including the Introduction, begins with a brief overview and list of objectives and ends with a summary. 'Tutorials' at the end of almost every section review the material by leading the student through a hands-on exercise. At the end of each chapter there are also 'Review Exercises' and 'Lab Exercises'. 'Review Exercises' contain completion, true/false, and multiple-choice questions, with the answers to odd-numbered questions in Appendix C, and 'Lab Exercises', which require students to perform the kinds of tasks they will encounter using Windows on an everyday basis. Also at the end of each chapter is a 'Build Your Own Glossary', which asks the students to define a given list of terms that was introduced in the chapter. Additional pedagogical aids include: 'Tips', which provide insight or specialized knowledge about the topic at hand; 'Warnings', which caution the reader against taking certain actions; 'Troubleshooting', which tries to anticipate situations in which something may go wrong and advise the student what can be done about it; and 'Margin Notes', which are brief phrases in the margin which make it easier for the student to locate subtopics and important procedures. These are included periodically throughout the text.
