Discovering Computers 2008: Complete (Shelly Cashman Serie
An expensive, but good book for someone who has limited experience with computers, Networks etc. and want a good basic knowledge of that area. The book covers a lot of topics without going into too deep of a detail.

Unfortuntely, I should have looked closer at the content of the book because I was wanting a more update version of the Shelly Cashman book "Understanding and troubleshooting your PC". A lot that I read, I already knew, but it was still a good book.

OK
THE INFORMATION THIS BOOK GIVES IS PRICELESS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT WOULD COME IN HARDCOVER OR LOOSE LEAF.

great job!
great price for the book. I saved about $60. and the book came right on time.
