Easy PC: The computer book that tells you what the others assume you know

Switch on your computer and discover a whole new world. Unlike most 'beginner' guides, Easy PC assumes readers have absolutely no previous knowledge of computers, and takes them by the hand through their first teetering steps into Windows XP or Vista. And, unlike most other computer guides, Easy PC benefits from being written not by a technical guru but by an ordinary person who understands the problems faced by computer virgins. From the very basic skills of using a mouse, learning how to single- and double-click, opening files and programs, through to using DVDs, email and the Internet, Dr Mole avoids baffling techno-jargon and explains each new term in a plain English index. In no time at all, even complete technophobes will be word-processing, managing documents, drawing pictures, emailing and surfing the Web with ease.Praise for the previous edition:'A helpful little paperback... ruthless in its clarity.'
