5.0 out of 5 stars Really all-in-one, just as advertised, September 12, 2003
By A Customer
This book covers a wide range of topics. Nothing is left out for the novice PC user. Step by Step instructions for networks - basic Office XP - hardware upgrades - troubleshooting - Windows XP - Microsoft Works - Internet security. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has wanted more out of their computer, and needs the big picture!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-HAVE!, October 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PCs All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
PCs all in One Desk Reference for Dummies

I was stunned and enchanted when I finally saw all that this book contained - - things I had wondered about, but never quite got around to asking were suddenly right in front of me, and the possibilities are truly endless. I might actually LEARN something this time. I have been mystified by computers despite the ten or so books I have purchased in my pursuit of practical grasp, but this one seems like the one that will finally resonate with my confusion and give true catharsis to it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars good reference material - just wish for a little more on XP, February 25, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
so far quite good for explaining things simply and quickly. good reference book. too bad it did not have more on windows XP but lots on vista. Big book though and you will have to spend a little time reading same but enjoyable reading so no problem.
