Going beyond just the essentials, Peter Coffee, a well-known columnist and editor for "PC Week", explores computers and their potential for work, education, and entertainment. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a PC book that you can actually sit down and read cover to cover. The conversational style just carries you along and, in the end, you've learned things you didn't even know you didn't know. A portion of the book is devoted to the question that troubles every computer owner from time to time: What should I buy (or use) to make my computer do what I want? This book is invaluable because it tells not "what to buy" but how to make the decision. If you've always thought of your computer as "just a box", or if you've always thought it was your fault when the machine didn't work properly, this book will open your eyes.
