Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This latest version of Peter Norton's explication of the mysterious world of PCs is a fascinating read as well as a seminal reference book. It's not an ideal title for someone who just wants to learn how to use their computer, or for those looking for the specifications of the latest standards--but it's suitable for all those who fall into the vast expanse between.
Norton and his co-author John Goodman take a theoretical approach, giving particular emphasis to technologies and operating systems which you might have thought were made redundant along with those obsolete along with those dusty old 286s hidden away in the loft. The discussion of DOS is extremely nostalgic (ever get sudden cravings for the joys of the command line prompt?) but also surprisingly relevant when put in the context of cutting edge releases like Windows 2000. And as one would expect from someone who has made as significant a contribution to the development of PCs as Peter Norton (his collection of anti-virus and maintaince utilities were owned by almost every serious PC user before they were integrated into the operating system in the early 1990s), few titles give a better history of the PC's development. --Josh Smith --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
With over 1 million copies in print, Peter Norton's Inside the PC, Seventh Edition addresses the needs of all users- novices to business professionals to power-users. Fully rewritten with new highly informative illustrations, this edition takes you far beyond a mere recounting of a PC's insides. Chapters on understanding bits, nybbles, and bytes, clarify the basics. Other chapters detail key enabling technologies and hot new developments, including IDE, ATAPI, SCSI, Firewire, and USB for peripheral connectivity. With Norton, you'll: understand what's inside your PC and why it's needed; find out how people are able to make PCs do the things they do; see what's special about mobile PCs; get an insider's view of how PCs were created; learn how the Internet, Java, and related developments are changing what you expect from your PC; understand the special hardware needs for intense multimedia experiences; and witness the birth of the "conversational" PC that understands and responds to you.
