Summary: Not a Desktop Reference.
Review: Do not buy this book if you want to use it for a Reference. At least 3 times, I have looked in it for troubleshooting certain PC problems and could find only a line or two, if even that, on what i was looking for.

Summary: There's no perfect computer guide.....
Review: For people still using Windows 98 (which in the current worm- infested environment seems a distinct advantage) this book is about the best you can do. Explains basic stuff, has good illustrations, and if the book doesn't EXACTLY answer your question, with some searching you can usually figure it out. The big questions remain 1) why are these products so complicated and 2) why isn't Microsoft publishing the best guide? It's really too bad that the BEST sources of software tips are the Q&A columns in newspapers.

Summary: Great General Information!
Review: Got my first computer (really) two weeks before Christmas. It has Windows 98 as the operating system. With the computer I received two books to help get me started. Win 98 for Dummies and The User Friendly Guide To Internet & Computer Terms. Both are great. Win 98 for Dummies takes you step by step thru the process of getting acquainted with a computer. The User Friendly Guide has a great dictionary along with tons of tips and articles about computers and the Internet. There's so much to know! If you need a great reference book, spend the money and get both of these.

Summary: Simply put---Excellent!
Review: Having little or no experience with Windows, this book was a Godsend for me. It clearly explains all of the features of Windows98 in terms that even this newbie could understand. While I'm far from mastering, this book makes navigating less fearsome, and I always keep it at arms length.

Summary: Converted a Mac user to a PC user, easily, painlessly!
Review: Having owned six McIntosh computers, I was dreading the uncharted territory (for me) of the Windows OS. After buying a PC and staring at it for the weekend, I purchased Andy's book. Not only did it tell me everything I needed to know, it was lots of fun to read. His sense of humor walked me step-by-step through the most convoluted tasks (and there are many!) on my new computer. I highly recommend this book for both PC tyros and know-it-alls.

Summary: YOU CAN DO BETTER! BELIEVE ME!
Review: I did this whole tutorial book. So I am a little bit grateful. After you buy the book, throw away the CD. It's virtually worthless. Use it as a coaster for your drinks and freak out your friends. Now see the movie "The Merry Widow" (1933). Maurie Chauvalier: Don't I look terrific? Jeanette MacDonald: Funny, yes. Terrific, no! Well, that about sums it up. There are huge "blocks" in this tutorial. Like you are walking on a bridge and some of the planks are missing. And then you have to trace your way back and figure it out yourself! I had to do this 3 times. The book is okay, Just don't buy it. Buy "Running Microsoft Windows 98" by Craig Stinson. The doctors won't have to keep taking skin grafts because you keep tearing out your hair. And there isn't any phoney CD. Good luck!
