Great Fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Waiting Games: Things to Do While Downloading, Processing, or Crashing (Spiral-bound)
I love this book! Everyone who owns a computer has all the necessary components at their disposal to make the arts and crafts projects or games and puzzles created by the author. It's a lot of fun, and would make a terrific stocking stuffer, pollyanna gift, or housewarming present, for anyone on your holiday list!

Totally demented,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Waiting Games: Things to Do While Downloading, Processing, or Crashing (Spiral-bound)
I read an interview with the author in the New York Times and thought this book sounded pretty cool. Now that I have it, I can report that it is totally demented. The activities are completely nuts--what kind of person thinks this stuff up?--but the amazing thing is, they all really work. Even the Floppy Disk Halloween Mask. And the drawings are terrific. Best of all it even comes with a mouse-pad cover. It's a great gift for the computer geek in your life.
