Summary: An essential piece of software.
Comment: From the intro: "To learn about the thousands of pieces of software that make up (Windows Me), you're expected to read the online help screens. Unfortunately, as you'll quickly discover, these help screens are tersely written, offer very little technical depth, and lack examples and illustrations. You can't even mark your place, underline, or read them in the bathroom."
Exactly. I had been fiddling with W/Me for five months before I got and absorbed this nifty little book. Before, I could figure out most things most of the time, and still be scratching my head about how I just got something to work. Now, I understand what I'm doing, where I can find help that really helps and not confuses, and spend more of my time getting real work done, and less or none at all trying to get the darn thing to do what I want it to do.
I really don't need a book lying around my desk proclaiming to all who pass that here resides a "dummy." Just because I'm a novice doesn't make me stupid. This book will help out the novice and experienced user alike, with plenty of explanations and tips that will give you your money's worth in one week. Mr. Pogue writes in a style that is easy to follow, with just enough levity to keep your attention and not sound glib or sarcastic. He offers plenty of examples to demonstrate his topics, with printed screens exactly as they appear on the monitor. And of course, you can read it in the bathroom.
I wish I had this book at my side five months ago.

Summary: Sure It's for sorta beginners! What a fast read, easily appl
Comment: The text recommended by our adult ed.instr.is dull, heavy in every way. We found this in our local bookstore. The instructor liked it enough he's planning to order some for next several terms. We Love it. Easy to sort out Q's and A's. Application suggestions interjected with wit, flexibility, even humility. Not a novel surely, but a fun read nonetheless. We aren't versed well enough to be snobbish re rudiments, Q's, etc. "The only dumb Q. is the one not asked."
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book. Very helpful.
Comment: I tend to buy computer books and then never use them. Not so with this one. I found it very well written and easy to use. It was filled with information that was actually useful. It is indeed the book that should have been in the box! I would recommend it for beginner to intermediate level users.
