Excellent book!!!!!!!! I have been recommending this book to everyone. I have searched for computer books that are concise, informative, and down right sensible. This one does it for me. I have read through so many boring, technical computer books that I know a GREAT one when I find it. THANK YOU.

This book was too basic to be of any use. The book is not set up so one can look up a specific task and then see how to do it. The only book I have ever returned, and I buy two or three books a month.
