Making Windows 98 Work for You,
By Kara Overcamp (Tustin, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cliffs Notes Making Windows 98 Work for You (Paperback)
"Making Windows 98 Work for You" was very helpful in defining computer terms I had heard before, but never known their meaning. The book defined terms (i.e.GUI, operating system, and disk defragmenter) in a concise and understandable manner. I also liked the step-by-step descriptions of how to perform basic functions, such as add a program, arrange your desktop, or set up your Internet connection/choosing ISP address. Being a high school teacher, I feel I could photocopy some of these step-by-step directions for my students so they could perform these basic functions with ease. The book is organized very logically and uses the learning theory of constructionism to build on the reader's prior knowledge. However, this book would not do much for the advanced computer user as it only addresses the basics of Windows 98 and doesn't get into the fancy, hi tech functions.

A good introduction to Windows 98,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cliffs Notes Making Windows 98 Work for You (Paperback)
A good, basic introduction to using Windows 98 and a computer. A well organized book that makes it easy for the beginner to follow the steps necessary to perform basic functions without getting into too much detail. One negative is that the page references in the index are incorrect. Also, the usability of the book could have been increased if it had been bound with a spiral binding which would allow the book to lie flat, freeing the users hands to try tasks on the keyboard or with the mouse.
