I can read my e-mail, play a few games, and download pictures and print them, but gettin the most our of my computer requires a little tweaking. The books, Simplified Tips and Tricks and Windows XP for Dummies provides that extra help. I'm glad I bought them, now for a little more time to really read them from cover to cover!
