I dont know a thing about computers. When my mac went down, i grabbed the geeks guide off my shelf (my mom had bought it the week before) and believe it or not, i found the problem, and the book told me how to fix it, saving me a hefty bill to get it repaired. This is probably the first computer book i have read that is actually useful! Well done the Geek Squad
I love it! This is a informative, funny and useful book

I first tried to find this in five bookstores all of which were sold out. It is an refreshing read compared to most computer books. I found it informative, entertaining and most imporantly helpful.
