I thought that I was knowledgeable about computers, but this book could easily double my knowledge. It has opened doors to areas I didn't even know existed. The book is current, correct, and also a excellent guide. It covers everything step by step... friends who don't know to much about computers have even purchased copies and now they have their own PCs that they made. Truely required reading for beginners and experts alike.
