3.0 out of 5 stars Discovering Computers 2008: Complete (Shelly Cashman Serie, September 15, 2008
An expensive, but good book for someone who has limited experience with computers, Networks etc. and want a good basic knowledge of that area. The book covers a lot of topics without going into too deep of a detail.

Unfortuntely, I should have looked closer at the content of the book because I was wanting a more update version of the Shelly Cashman book "Understanding and troubleshooting your PC". A lot that I read, I already knew, but it was still a good book.
