Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I read this book because I enjoyed Mr. Laporte's show. I must say this book is nothing like the show. It did not help me use the computer. Instead it tells people how Mr. Laporte feels a computer should be used. I emailed Mr. Laporte to ask for help ,but he has not answered to this day.

Summary: Great daily fun...
Comment: A book I'm having fun reading this year is Leo Laporte's 2004 Technology Almanac. This is one of those books you may not get something from every day, but on many occasions you'll find a gem that will make your life a lot easier. There's a page for each day of the year, and each month covers a different area of technology. Those areas are Make Your Computer New For The New Year; Games And Entertainment; Stay Safe Online; Manage Your Life Online; Merry Month Of May; Weird And Wonderful World Wide Web; Family Photography; Work At The Beach; Back To School; Control Your Email, Battle Spam; Troubleshooting; Leftovers; and Index. And in case you're wondering, the tips include both Mac and PC...
For instance, on January 3rd the coverage is on must-have system diagnostic tools. The four tools they feature are PC Pitstop, SiSoftware Sandra, WCPUID, and Motherboard Monitor. I was unaware of any of these package, and the SiSoftware Sandra package would help me clean up some things on my machine. If I had been looking for something like this, I might have been able to find it. But having a gem drop onto your path makes each day's reading something to look forward to. Heavy-duty geeks might think too much of this is "I already know that" material, but for average users and developers like myself, it's nearly as fun as a Dilbert calendar (and more useful to boot).

Summary: Let's Not Forget The Point Here...
Comment: In response to the folks that have bombed this book. You are missing the point of the book and don't understand Leo's appeal. Leo, and his book, aren't for the Geeks or the Web savvy, both are for everyone else. Leo's whole career is about being inclusive of people that need help understanding the world of computers. This is a great book for those that need:
a. A hard copy reference. There are many of us out there that still prefer to read from paper.
b. A more direct source for useful information. Many people don't have the skills or the patience to search all over the internet for what they need.
c. An easy to read and understand writing style.
Buy this book for Mom and Dad, family members who need some technical help, or anyone that is more interested in learning to use a computer as tool rather than making the computer their life.
