Summary: THE BEST ILLUSTRATED COMPUTER BOOK
Review: I am amazed at the painstaking effort by the author to show each task with a series of numbered screens, click by click! I wish that every other computer book for Word, Wxcel etc. would have been as detailed in a pictorial form as this one.

This is a complete book on the subject nicely covered in four sections: (1). How to... (2). Do it yourself... (3). Quick fixes... and (4). Handy References. If you want to know EVERYTHING about Windows '98, buy this book, you won't regret it!

Review: Learned how to do things with Windows 98 that I thought didn't exist or were even possible. Microsoft should take a lesson from the author and provide more information to those who plan to use Windows 98.
