The biggest problem with people who are new to the world of computers is that they quickly blame themselves when something goes wrong. It’s not your fault! Computers goof up. Software programs have bugs. Things go wrong, and sometimes they would do so even if you weren’t sitting there at the controls. A good deal of the time, the computer is just acting dumb and PCs For Dummies, 8th Edition, will help you through it all.
