Beware,
By slacker "slacker" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Practical PC, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
Beware of buying this book used, without the cd-rom included. You need the cd-rom more than the book itself. Without the cd-rom you will be unable to complete any assignments because the tests and quizzes are in the disc.

Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Practical PC (Paperback)
I really like this book. It's overview of the PC really helped me, a beginner at computers, understand many terms better. I enjoyed learning with this book and especially the CD. I really liked how the CD actually showed me how to do everything and explained everything so well.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Practical PC (Paperback)
If you need this book for a class don't get the electronic version because you WILL need the CD that is normally included with this book and the electronic versions DO NOT include it.
