5.0 out of 5 stars
Does what it says it will!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Using Windows 98 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
I found this book extremely helpful. I loaned the book to a number of people who had just bought their first computer, loaded with Win98. In each case this book made it easy to set up modems, desktops, and other settings. It's written clearly and concisely, and there's even some humor so it's good reading. In fact, there's a section on home computing that I've never seen in a computer book, and it's filled with terrific information and hints. I read a bad review here, by a reader who said it was not advanced enough. That's a bad rap, because the cover says it's for people who need basic information.

Just plain facts...good index... mid level advice....,

This review is from: Using Windows 98 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
I read a few similar help books, and found this to be straight forward...good index and will probably get the average computer user 90% of what they need quickly.

Basic Stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: Using Windows 98 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
I recommend this book to someone who is not familiar with Windows 95/98. It covers the basics of the operating system in a consistently unentertaining manner--a characteristic of almost all books on software. (Of course, the intent is to educate, not entertain.)There's no heavy duty stuff here. So if your sole purpose in life is to decode the Windows Registry, click the "Next" button now.
