Better than the Dummies series for the Complete New User
I bought this book and a dummies book for my 73 year old father who had never used a computer in his life before. He read both and learned more, and faster from this book - First Week with My New PC. His comment was that this book was the one geared to the complete newbie. He felt that the dummies book required a knowledge base that he, as a brand new user, did not yet have! Definitely highly recommended!

Can be enjoyed by any
While The First Week With My New PC was written for the author's 85-year-old mother who is now a PC master, it can be enjoyed by any - including business managers who have resisted the lure of the computer screen. From how to watch the stock market and produce a document to emailing and formatting work, this is packed with fine basics in simple language any can readily understand.

Buy this book for your parents!
If you're like me you've been spending a lot of time on the phone trying to get your parents hooked up and diagnosing their computer problems and questions via long distance. This book will reduce your phone bills! It even answers the questions your parents are too embarrassed to ask you! Great humor and down to earth instructions for anyone new to computing. Very well thought out as to the type of "problems" new users may run into ("Where is the "any" key? The computer keeps asking me to hit any key."). I highly recommend!
