Customer Reviews & Comments
If you have never seen or used a computer before, this book MIGHT help you...but I doubt it. While there are pages and topics galore, there is very little substance. In most cases, the author does little more than tell you how to access an item from the menu (ie: from the drop-down box select xxx -or- select the widget you want to include in the frammit and select "save" from the "file" menu. After reading this text, you will have an understanding of how to start programs, make your windows and menu bars multi-colored, and how to save documents...but little else. The only redeeming factor to this book is that it is available for $1.69 used - I pity the folks who paid full price.
