Editorial Reviews

Booknews

A basic guide to choosing and using operating systems, network and Internet software, applications and utilities (e.g., spreadsheet and word processing software), programming languages, and a few miscellaneous applications such as Quicken. Tables list manufacturers and approximate prices. Novice users will appreciate the glossary, an overview of how computers work, and a table which lists uses of software by task (e.g., direct mail, employee management, legal documents, mailing labels, and scheduling).
