Synopsis

According to efficiency experts, the average computer user spends nine minutes every day waiting for files and web screens to download (that’s more than fifty-four hours a year!)—and that’s not even counting the time spent rebooting after the downloaded file crashes your computer. Now, at last, there’s an activity book to help you make the most of your computer time:
 
     •  Learn the intricate strategies of Mouse Ball Ball Bowling!
     •  Create dazzling crafts and puzzles with floppy disks!
     •  Discover the amazing weight-loss secrets of Printer Cable Calisthenics!
     •  Master the New Age art of harmonizing your desktop with Feng Shui!
 
A few basic supplies and a working computer are all you need to turn computer frustration into rewarding creations at home or at work. And when you’re not waiting, simply close the book and use the cover as your mouse pad.
 
So what are you waiting for?
