I'm in my 50's and never even looked at a computer till my sons got me one and was I ever scared of it but with this book everything just fell in to place for me it's the greatest book there is I tried others but they just made things worse for me.
So if you are new at this and have trouble understanding these big word detail books get this one you'll love it.

I'm quite impressed and satisfied with this book and with the entire Simplified series. This book presents an excellent introduction to and overview of Microsoft Windows 98. It is very accessible to beginners and provides useful information for more experienced users. For visual learners (like myself), the illustrations are a great help. Related books in the series include More Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows Me. Windows 2000 Professional is basically the upgrade from Windows NT - mostly for businesses. Windows Me (for millennium edition) is the upgrade from Windows 98 - it's mostly for home use.

It's challenging to take a complex subject and express it simply, clearly, concisely, and comprehensively. This book meets the challenge.

Other books in the Simplified series are listed on Amazon.com under the author name Ruth Maran. A similar series (which I also enjoy very much) by the same author is the Teach Yourself Visually series.

For further study, I recommend Course Technology: the Shelly Cashman Series; the New Perspectives Series; and the Illustrated Series (I particularly like the Shelly Cashman Series). And, of course, there is Microsoft Press: I like the Step by Step Series and the Running Series.

These books are all available on Amazon.com.

I bought this book for my mother, who is 76 and very computer-phobic. Having this book helps her believe she actually CAN use the computer!
