In just over 200 pages, the author covers an awesome range - from PC basics, to the pitfalls when buying a PC and recommended configurations for various applications, to a hands-on guide to getting started with Windows and its various application tools.

More importantly, the book is bang up-to-date - and deals with the latest versions of all software tools discussed. The screens captured in the sharp graphics are therefore the ones that a user in mid-2001 would find on a contemporary machine.

The author and the publisher may well find that they will have to update subtly a year down the road - but right now, this is a reliable and comforting ally for any one who has taken the first step down the road to cyberspace.
