Great --but wish it included Wondows 7 August 29, 2010
Stephen L. Biggs (Crawfordsville, IN USA)
Appears to cover everything I have been looking for all in one very thick & heavy paperback book. The copywrite date is only one year ago, so it is not yet outdated as so many books very quickly become, yet things still change so fast that the new Windows 7 is still newer than this copywrite, and so, is not covered in this book. Still, if you can work around that fact, this book is still a good value for the price.

Came on time and was everything advertised. I would order from this source again. Thank You.
Great Reference Book! April 26, 2010
Hal York (Rhode Island)
I found this easy to use. A quick way to look up solutions to many annoying problems. It was written during the Vista era, and doesn't have anything for the newer Windows 7. Like most of the "Dummies" series, it interjects a fair amount of humor. All in all, this book gives good details about hardware and how to keep your computer running smoothly.

Although I found it useful I apprantely know more about computers that I thought or the book was too basic. I need a reference book that is more geared toward acutually repairing problems instead of just explaining what is the problem. For the complete novice I would recommend this book. If you want to be able to repair your computer yourself; keep looking for another text.
Very Pleased January 23, 2010

I am an above average computer user and this book was still very helpful. The layout is very well done, you just go to the chapter that fits your need without having to read through allot of other stuff to find what you need. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to save a buck rather than pay a Geek!
