Thank god its simple 30 Jun 2004
Format:Hardcover
I dont try ot pretend I know alot about computers, but with this book i was able to build, load and successfully run my computer with very little fire (only joking).
Its laid out in a way that even the simplist of fools can understand it.
It is alittle pricey but its something you'd keep and refere back to.
So whether your a complete beginner at builds or a whizz kid at DOS this book is for you.
Thanks for reading

What a book - Packed with clever tips to help even the dummest user (like me!) to tackle any job with the utmost confidence. The price alone is cheaper than a help line call to most support agencies. Don't delay - Buy it now!

I was very impressed with this book. Its well written and doesnt contain confusing techno waffle. With it's help it gave me the confidence to upgrade my memory, add a CD writer and add more hard disk space. Excellent book for someone opening a pc for the first time. It gives you the essentials to get the job done but dont expect a huge amount of depth.
