Personal Computing Essentials (3rd Edition)

Summary: Best Nontechnical Approach to PC Basics
Review: I have been teaching personal computer basics since 1983 (since 1981 if you include mainframe days!). I have written my own training manuals to cover this topic, but when I found the first edition of this book (this is the second), I started using it for all my classes. I'm very excited that the book was finally updated and look forward to seeing the 3rd edition (which I recently ordered). Most beginning computer books are actually very technical (for the person who wants to be an expert), with very little practical hands-on material for the layman who wants to just learn the basics. This is the best there is for the average want-to-be computer user.
