Product Description

Product Description
According to efficiency experts, the average computer user spends 9 minutes every day waiting for files and web screens to download (that's more than 54 hours a year!) - and that's not even counting the time spent rebooting after the downloaded file crashes your computer. Now, at last, there's an activity book to help computer users make the most of their time. Computer Waiting Games is a witty, fully illustrated guide to more than 50 how-to projects, puzzles, games, and activities, ranging from the decorative to the slightly demented. A mix of self-improvement handbook, computer manual, and Martha Stewart Living, this book teaches readers new sports (Mouse Ball Bowling), dazzling crafts (Create a Floppy Bird Feeder), amazing weight-loss techniques (Printer Cable Calisthenics), and even New Age philosophy (Harmonize Your Desktop with Feng Shui).

About the Author
Hal Bowman is a tech support consultant in New Jersey. He developed the activities in this book after three years of working with a 28k modem and a 486/66 processor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent prezzie for the Computer Nerd, 21 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This book is a brilliant present for the guy who spends all day long sitting infront of his computer (like my boyfriend). I've bought him this for Xmas and I know he'll love it. Each page has amusing things to make and games to play within in to keep them from losing their temper with the connection speed!
Well worth the money!
