About the Author

Lynn Manning recovered from a ten year battle against ME in 1999 and decided to re-train in computers. She spent two years studying and received various City & Guild qualifications and in 2002, set up her own computer training business offering one to one training to the beginner. This is now a very successful business and many of her customers suggested she should write a book in the same manner in which she teaches i.e. in plain English, no computer jargon, just an easy to follow manual for the beginner building on her own experience as a computer latecomer, now training newcomers and this is how she came to write this book.
