Your Home Computer: from Novice to Master by Jessie Strahan is essential for anyone thinking of a first computer. It is also for those who have PCs but are uncomfortable using them, instructors & anyone looking for gifts. It would be especially helpful for the middle-aged or retired seniors. An easy-to-read guide, this book (1) introduces concepts, terminology & the myriad uses of computers; (2) discusses types of home computers & alternatives to these; (3) walks the reader through purchase, setup & installation of hardware & software; & (4) teaches desktop, word processing, Internet, e-mail & World Wide Web. Those who complete Your Home Computer will enjoy using computers. They will talk intelligently with friends, salespeople & technical representatives. Seminars, tutorials & the other manuals will make sense. Most computer manuals are written by experts who assume knowledge beginners do not have. Strahan, a layman, teamed with Mike Lindelsee, a computer professional, to write this book. It is the combination of a layman's perspective with technical expertise that makes this work exceptional. The book speaks directly to the questions & problems of those with limited computer experience in a way that the experts cannot, yet is both comprehensive & accurate.
