Customer Reviews

Using Windows XP Home, Third Edition5
An excellent resource text, well written and well organised: it's comprehensive and has a good index, making it easy to use. It seems to meet the authors' stated goals of being accurate, concise, practical and interesting, no mean feats for a text dealing with a rather dry subject.
