Synopsis
INTRODUCTION
WHERE TO BEGIN Over the last two decades, the PC, or personal computer, has revolutionized the way we go about things. And though the recent high-tech bubble may have burst, a knowledge of computers is more useful and important today than ever before. Not only is computer literacy a prerequisite in many areas of employment, it’s also a skill that can prove incredibly useful and rewarding at home. As well as being invaluable for number-crunching and document editing, the modern PC can also help you stay in touch, be creative and access an unimaginable wealth of information via the Internet. And that’s not even to mention its potential for music, video and games. Whether you’re thinking of buying your first computer, planning to upgrade an old machine or out to hone your skills, this book is for you. We start right at the beginning and assume no prior knowledge, but cover everything from the basics to the nitty-gritty of how a PC functions – we were surprised, in fact, by just how much we were able to squeeze into such a small book. And where we haven’t had room to expand, we’ve suggested Websites where you can find out more.

Reviews
Rough Guides proves that good things come in small packages. These entries condense useful information in a nontechnical, nonthreatening format for beginners, while never condescending to their audience. Both have a mildly British tone yet remain accessible. Especially helpful are page-numbered references to useful topics covered elsewhere in the books, a nice attempt to replicate "hyperlinking" in print. Recommended for all public libraries, though the books' dimensions (4" x 53/4") may limit appeal.
