Summary: +6 stars,Learning 'Windows XP' by Mentor.
Review: I didn't know anything about (1)'changing the time',(2)'downloading music on to a CD-R',(3)'constructing a firewall',(4) access to a simple 'calculator',or (5)'installing' and 'removing' software from my computer. Now I'm looking at 'video cams' and 'voice activated headsets' that plug into the computer,and dictate notes by voice. With 'Mentor' its like going to a restraunt,(1)they go grocery shopping for you,(2)do the cooking,(3)prepare the food,(4) serve you,(5)and wash the dishes. All you do at the end is pay the bill. In fact this is a lazy way to learn computer,and not go to a computer school for like two years to get an AA degree like my brother-in-law did. I had to tell him myself how to download music which I learned from 'Mentor',and my sister was completely stunned. Before 'Mentor',I was afraid of the computer,those incons,lots and lots of incons on the computer display. I was afraid I would delete something important or blow up that $1,500 dollar laptop investment. With 'Mentor',I'm like a pro using my laptop with confidence,just studied 'Mentor' for two days,and wow! Don't get left behind,this is the era of the computer,everything is computerized these days and not knowing is costly sometimes.

Summary: Use WinXP immediately
Review: I've been using PCs for over 10 years, but every upgrade freaks me out. I saw this reviewed on TechTV and jumped at the chance to buy it. Why? Because it talks to me & shows me how to do just about any task I can think of, and it got me over the hump of the new WinXP user interface. This is unlike anything I'd ever seen - like a Help system on steroids! - and, I think, the best way to learn how to use software.

This is not at all like some boring training program. I got everything I needed almost instantly - each task I wanted was shown & explained to me in about 1 minute! I did what it showed & told me & I went back to using my PC. It's all about getting you to USE WinXP, not spending hours taking a course and passing a test. Hey, NO TESTS... NO SIMULATION! Just the stuff you need, when you need it, so you can use your computer.

There's this one JIT (abr. for "Just-In-Time") that explains how the Windows O/S really works using some pretty cool animation. I also realized that they don't use complicated computer jargon - everything was in plain English, easy to understand.

It's also real multimedia, easy to install, and really easy to use. I'd recommend this to anyone to buy.

Summary: Wow! what a concept!
Review: Mentor lives up to its promise that you can master Windows XP without training. After 15-20 minutes with the conceptual presentations, I was able to get started and then let it show and tell me how to do whatever I've wanted to do. This is the way it should be done.
