More About the Author

I'm now writing a free e-mail newsletter called The Useful Geek (website above).

I'm updating my iPod book to cover the latest features, the latest iPods... and the iPhone when it arrives

I'm also writing a book called Do-It-Yourself PC Upgrade Projects, which shows you 24 ways to get more out of your computer -- without buying a new computer. (Or not yet...)

Happy reading -- and computing!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book has been quite helpful, February 11, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Microsoft Windows Vista Home: Premium and Basic (Paperback)
When I got a new laptop for Christmas, it came with Vista, instead of the XP that I was used to. I found that I had quite a few questions and and started shopping for a book. This one has proven to be very useful and layman friendly for the most part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vista Home Basic, September 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Microsoft Windows Vista Home: Premium and Basic (Paperback)
Have begun reading this book, and have found it to be just what I need to learn what I don't know about the computer I bought 2 years ago!
Being able to purchase this book through Amazon was extremely helpful since I didn't want to spend a lot of money for a book that I had not seen before. But it was inexpensive and shipped promptly to my home.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Microsoft Windows Vista Home: Premium and Basic (Paperback)
This book was VERY informative. It helped me understand Windows Vista Home Premium a lot. I learned things I would not have known otherwise. It didn't go into the Windows Vista Basic much though.
