The first three editions of this book have been extremely strong sellers. There will always be a market for a new computer user's first computer book; computer novices continue to need help understanding, setting up, and using their new PCs. That book is this book: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Computer Basics, which is being updated in a new edition for all the latest software and hardware developments. The major change to this edition is complete coverage of Microsoft Windows Vista and all Vista-related utilities, including Windows Media Player 11, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Mail, Windows Calendar, and Internet Explorer 7. This new edition also features expanded coverage of downloading and playing digital music and videos, editing digital photos and home movies, and using blogs and social networking websites (such as MySpace). Also new: separate chapters on desktop and notebook PCs (based on the increasing popularity of low-priced notebook PCs in the home). These changes make Absolute Beginner's Guide to Computer Basics, 4E, the most up-to-date guide for beginning computer users on today's market. No other book covers the range of topics presented here - or in the author's breezy-yet-practical style.
