This review is from: Windows Me for Busy People, Millennium Edition (Paperback)

The authors use a good mix of humor and straight forwardness. They teach you what you need to know to take advantage of all the new elements of Windows ME, without getting too into the computer geek stuff. Easy read and has useful outlines at the begining of each chapter to give you an idea about what is covered.
