Through the past few years I've seen and skimmed quite a few computer "help" books,seems like all were written by and for a 5 or 6 year old or they were written by and for computer "geniuses",just way too far out there(complicated) for one of us "average" people. A friend had a computer(sold it just a couple of weeks ago) and several "windows help books",this was the only one that ever really helped him through his problems(most of 'em anyway). A friend, sapiet75839@yahoo.com asked me if I could and/or would help him with his new(to him) computer and teach him some of what he needs to know. I said yes,then went to see the guy about borrowing his "IN A NUTSHELL" book. I had already read and seen enough to know this book was going to be my best help for the job/s at hand,he said sure.

Gentlemen,the best way I can put this is in these words; "You guys couldn't have smoked too much dope or done many drugs in your younger days!"

Why?...Simple!...The book "WORKS",I'll admit I found a few things confusing. Like why aren't "all" of the abbreviations and "3-letter codes explained/written out long hand at least once,for us "igrunt folks",guys it would sure help out a little now and then,(at least give it some thought hunh?). There were a few other little things that I could bitch and gripe about if I just wanted to be petty about it but why in the hell should I when so much of the book is so much help and good information.

In short;(too late) thanks for writing/putting out such a really,trully "HELPFUL" computer book for us "above novice-below genius" type folks. In fact it's helped me so much with this guys computer,now I'll have to buy my own copy of your book.....Because last week my dad found one(computer) cheap enough,that now,at long last,I'll have my own computer. My e-mail box is still full right now but I'd appreciate hearing from you if you can get through ChuckGimnich@excite.com .Thanks again for all your work in putting together a very helpful book.
