5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of wheat, very little chaff,
This review is from: MORE Windows® 98 Secrets® (Paperback)
I recently installed windows 98 second edition on several PCs at home and work and have been looking for a useful reference manual. This book is full of easier, quicker ways to use windows 98se, including many simple ideas that are easy to implement. Virtually every page offered something helpful. Amazingly, there was very little obvious stuff that most books spend most of the pages regurgitating.
