Paperback
Author: Kenneth Mole
Switch on your computer and discover a whole new world. Unlike most 'beginner' guides, "Easy PC" assumes readers have absolutely no previous knowledge of computers, and takes them by the hand through their first teetering steps into Windows XP or Vista. And, unlike most other computer guides, "Easy PC" benefits from being written not by a technical guru but by an ordinary person who understands the problems faced by computer virgins.From the very basic skills of using a mouse, learning how to single- and double-click, opening files and programs, through to using DVDs, email and the Internet, Dr Mole avoids baffling techno-jargon and explains each new term in a plain English index.

Praise for the previous edition: 'A helpful little paperback...ruthless in its clarity' - "The Evening ... more

Silver Surfers' Colour Guide to Word Processing order quantity

NZ$ 19.99 each
Paperback
Author: Wendy Hobson
If a picture speaks 1,000 words, then 500 pictures get the job done more easily. Equally important is the entry-level market for these applications, which is ageless, bigger and looking for easy methods that work better. The book is project and achievement led; button by cursor, cursor by screen shot - every step of the way to success. Silver surfers will be slow learners. Not because they're stupid, but because they're afraid. They start out believing that they can't cope. Most books reinforce their view by using terminology that sounds to them like it would be more comfortable in "Star Trek". So, this book is very different. It is project and achievement led. Button by button, screen shot by screen shot, it shows what to do, what has happened and what to do next.
