America to UK 20 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Got this as a Mothers day gift. Took a while to arrive, but I live in the UK and this was shipped from America so this was expected.
Not read this book myself as it would be no use to me. I'm also aware that this review wont help anyone so I apologize :P.

I needed to understand some basic terminology and this greatly helped 20 July 2010
By Mary - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son decided it was time for me to learn about my computer and stop bugging him all the time. He suggested I get one of the dummie's books and he was right. I felt it was exactly the explanation and had exactly the information I needed to understand what I am doing on the computer every day.

Another good Dummies book 15 Feb 2011
By Florence - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Dummies series is usually very helpful, and this book is not an exception. I'm pretty good at getting around the internet, but Internet for Dummies gave me new methods and ways to be safe and to do good searches. Even if you find just a couple of new ideas, the book is worth buying.
