5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Illustrated Guide To Windows 98!, October 4, 1998

By A Customer

     The Windows 98 operating system is now standard on most new computer systems being manufactured today. Many are clamoring for an easy reference guide to get the ball rolling. There are many fine books available but when it comes to a beautifully illustrated learning guide, look no further than Shelly O'Hara's Easy Windows 98. This book offers a quick, fun, enjoyable, and easy way to learn about this new operating system.

     Readers are walked through the basic Windows 98 functions and settings. Brief and concise instructions are provided on how to customize the desktop, setting the taskbar, adding programs to the start menu, managing files, running applications, viewing documents, installing Windows components, installing software and hardware, setting up printers, using the Internet Explorer Web browser, the Outlook Express mail program, and much more!

     Easy Windows 98 is large, fully-colored, and features above average size printing that makes it easy to thumb through in a casual manner, allowing readers to move easily from one topic to the next. Readers will like the open workbook style format of the book. It can be placed on one's lap or near a computer and opened for convenient hands-off viewing. Quality color screen and menu shots show how to make the right moves and clicks necessary to make Windows 98 easier to live with.

     As are other books in Que's Easy ... series, this book is well-suited for students, beginners, and even senior citizens who desire or may require an illustrated approach to learning. This book will provide many hours of exciting reading. Readers will have no trouble at all picking up the skills necessary to successfully use Windows 98. Great for classroom use and makes an excellent gift!
