When someone first gets a PC, the person wants to do something with it. A new PC owner wants to immediately accomplish a task with it. They may want to write a letter, send an email message, check out some Web sites, make a greeting card, or personalize the Windows desktop. This book identifies the approximately 30 tasks that the PC novice wants to perform and then it draws a map showing the novice user how to achieve his or her goal: print a greeting card, reconcile a checkbook balance, decorate the Windows desktop, make the PC run faster, create a digital photo album and so on.
