Product Description
According to efficiency experts, the average computer user spends nine minutes every day waiting for files and web screens to download-that's more than 54 hours a year! With so much time-a-wasting, you need Computer Waiting Games, a collection of how-to projects, puzzles, games, and activities to do while your computer toils away. This illustrated guide teaches you how to make a bird feeder out of floppy disks, lose weight with Printer Cable Calisthenics, and play 10 frames of Mouse Ball Bowling! And that's just the beginning-with a few basic supplies and a working computer, you can turn on-line frustration into plenty of rewarding creations. So what are you waiting for?

You'll also learn how to:

* Make a FREE TRIAL AOL CD Mobile

* Compose a Touch-Tone Telephone Symphony

* Bench Press Your Computer Monitor

* Master Desk Chair Yoga

* And much, much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun!, November 8, 2002
By A Customer
I love this book! Everyone who owns a computer has all the necessary components at their disposal to make the arts and crafts projects or games and puzzles created by the author. It's a lot of fun, and would make a terrific stocking stuffer, pollyanna gift, or housewarming present, for anyone on your holiday list!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally demented, October 28, 2002
By A Customer
I read an interview with the author in the New York Times and thought this book sounded pretty cool. Now that I have it, I can report that it is totally demented. The activities are completely nuts--what kind of person thinks this stuff up?--but the amazing thing is, they all really work. Even the Floppy Disk Halloween Mask. And the drawings are terrific. Best of all it even comes with a mouse-pad cover. It's a great gift for the computer geek in your life.
