5.0 out of 5 stars Simplifies Computing
When learning about computers, especially for those of us using them on the homefront, who wants a huge tome of information we'll never use?

Not me. Keep it simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplifies Computing, June 7, 2002
This review is from: The little PC Book Windows XP Edition (Paperback)
When learning about computers, especially for those of us using them on the homefront, who wants a huge tome of information we'll never use?

Not me. Keep it simple.

"The little PC Book Windows XP Edition" by Larry Magid keeps it simple.

This is for the everyday user, the one who has no desire (or need) to become Microsoft Certified, who just wants to use his or her computer, and not get lost in the technology of it all. XP is different than its Windows ancestors, yet clearly is part of the family. Magid helps you know when the differences matter.

Magid keeps the language simpler than a radio compter talk show, and readers will rejoice at the book's accessibility.

Pictures are worth a thousand words of techie talk, and Magid is sure to realize this, providing necessary charts, screenshots, etc. He answers the questions you want answers to in a manner you'll understand.

I fully recommend "The little PC Book Windows XP Edition" by Larry Magid.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good introduction to Windows XP, July 30, 2002

This review is from: The little PC Book Windows XP Edition (Paperback)
I've been using Windows 98 for years and just upgraded to Windows XP. This book helped enormously. It was thorough and clear and didn't talk down to me, yet it was also very easy to understand. I've been a big fan of Magid's columns and now I'm a fan of his book. Great job!
