This is a practical guide written in plain English for anyone new to the world of computers who wants to learn how to use them, and what they can do. The book is written in down-to-earth language, completely free of techno-babble, and designed to be understood by readers with no previous experience of operating computers. The book is application-based, covering areas such as MS Office, email, internet shopping, digital camera, music download, and much, much more. It takes readers straight into the practical application (skipping the "theory"), and explains how to get going quickly in the chosen area of interest. This will be an invaluable guide for people who just want the basics - and a quick and easy guide to using their new computer to do the things they want to do straight away, without fuss and without all the detailed technical stuff which other computer books seem so full of.
