Everything you need to know about when it comes to computers. You don't have to be a geek or a computer genius to read this book. You could be a new user who never ever own a computer before and still read this book and understand everything there is about computers. It's a great and interesting book for those who are new or for existing users wants to learn something more about their PC. This edition is also updated for "Windows 8" which was created by a company called "Microsoft". I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about computers and the technology world, geeks,or you may be a first time users behind your very own PC, you should take the time to read this book!
