This review is from: Windows 98 Professional Reference (Paperback)

Okay, let me get this off my chest. I started with the first home computers (remember the TRS80 4K? I recall a Bill Gates article in Compute! where Mr. Gates lamented his failure to monopolize BASIC programming.

I graduated to Texas Instruments and Compaq and the classic Osborne. Then, I embraced the PC and chuckled at the toy with a mouse.

Shortly thereafter I used my first Mac. Until 18 months ago I swore I'd never again use a PC. Working overseas, though, has forced me to return, as Macs are not readily available in Egypt.

Biggest difference between Mac and Pc? I never consulted a manual to learn how to use the Mac. It is instinctive.

Second biggest difference? In some 16 years of using a Mac the only time it ever crashed was because of frequent power outages in rural Oregon and my not having Norton Utilities.

Alas, now that I am back on a PC (until my return stateside) I have found the weekly freeze-ups and crashes demand I consult the reference manuals. Just as is Windows, the manual is confusing and almost too heavy to take aboard an airbus as a carry-on, but it is necessary. With patience you will find your answer.

At nearly 1,000 pages I wonder how many acres of rain forest Gates has forced to be cut down though!

This book is the best trouble shooter for Windows 98.
