I wholeheartedly agree with the other glowing review currently on this post. The level of greatness of this work is almost preposterous, made yet greater by the stupendous CD-ROM that is included, with an incredibly user-friendly interface that shows you a screenshot of the program in question, along with a concise but informative blurb about it. This is likely the very best computer book I've ever read on any topic, and on virtually all counts. That's not just lip service -- though I already owned ver. 1 of the book (which had 900 apps on the CD), I couldn't turn away over 2,000 more in the 2nd ver -- in addition to the new data on the Palm V, the VII, etc. The book is a steal at its published price ($25, if I recall).
