step by step instructions for anyone starting out and having little knowledge of how to get to certain areas and make specific changes. graphics were excellent!!

Very Useful Book.. It explains everything with graphics which make it very easy fast and practical to use...

Have used the book over and over and have been delighted with the help it has given me. While checking the chapter on "Opening folders" I found pages 61-72 are missing. It looks like a printers error to me and I wonder if others have reported this to you.

I am more of a visual person, so the easy to understand pictures and details are great..It makes it so much easier to understand when you can actually see where to point and which keys to type.. then someone telling you without the pictures especially if you are a beginner...
