Summary: An Incredible Delight and The Best Way to Learn Windows 98!
Review: The is THE book to buy if you want to learn Windows 98! Andy has an incredible sense of humor which will lighten the tension of learning this subject. But his teaching ability is even higher. How would you like to paint a camel with your computer? Or learn how to use Wordpad and Notepad. My entire text is underlined. It did not to be. But I make things hard on myself. Andy does the one thing that very few writers do. He makes what seems complex very simple. I have this book next to my college text on COBOL. Both books did me a great service. But I gave Andy a bad review. Why? IT still was hard work. But Andy made it easier. Now go paint yourself a camel with your computer. You can't, can you? Go buy the book. And this book has no CD as I stated before. That must have been "Classical Music for Dummies". Good luck!

Summary: Good resource
Review: This book does a good job of giving some good basic information about Windows 98, although I did find errors. I bought this book and Patrick Neal's Windows 98:Exam 70-098 (Accelerated MCSE from McGraw-Hill.) Either book is quite readable, however, as an MCT, I'm recommending Neal's Windows 98 book to both my students and my friends because it's just as readable as this one, as well as giving a thorough, and basic explanation of Windows 98 functions in the scheme of computer networks. Both this book and Neals' can be read by the novice as well as the professional. I'm rcommending this book to my friends who want a more light-hearted read about Windows 98.

Summary: It's a fair introduction but woefully inadequate.
Review: While it does enable a beginner to get started in Windows98 it is hopelessly incomplete.It affords very little help when you run into trouble and is very poorly indexed. One could do with a little less cutesy language and a little more substance.
