5.0 out of 5 stars Maintaining a healthy hard drive, October 4, 2000

By	Donald G. Kiger (Culver City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No one ever told me computers had to be maintained. I thought you turned them on when you wanted to use one and turned it off when you were done. Not so! Mr. Stern's book enlightened me regarding this matter. It was very refreshing to read a practical, easy to understand book on keeping my computer in tip-top shape. No techy talk. No big words. Just plain, simple english mixed with flecks of humor. I followed Mr. Stern's step by step instructions and found I had 127 megs of totally unnecessary internet files cluttering my hard drive. That's more space than I had on the entire hard drive of my last computer. I highly recommend this book. The instructions are clear, the procedures are simple, and it's fun to read. Thank you Mr. Stern. I hope you write more books.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!, September 22, 2000

By	William (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews

As a frustrated computer user, I found KEEP YOUR COMPUTER RUNNING RIGHT to be the first book that shows you how to solve all those annoying crashes and problems BEFORE you get them. It's even fun! Thanks to Elliott Stern (and his easy-to-read manner) my computer is working better than ever, saving me lots of time and grief. Stern's writing makes you feel like you've got a friendly "computer guy" right by your side -- someone who knows what you're going through, then helps you through it while keeping your spirits up. I didn't need a new computer; I needed this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Guidebook Extraordinaire, September 21, 2000

By	Brenda Ramsey (Culver City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Most computer manuals are boring, difficult to understand and fail to solve the problem in a short amount of time. Elliott's book allows one to find the problem quickly and solve it even more quickly! What normally would have taken 15 minutes plus a few phone calls, can be accomplished, by even the most inexperienced and/or advanced user, in a few moments. I look forward to Book #2 by Mr. Stern. Good work!
