John Bear welcomes you to one of the most illuminating and witty meanderings through the world of computers yet published. He says the things that need to be said finally about the inadequacies of the field -- from 'Technobabble' to the shameful warranty situation -- but he says them with humor and the interest of one totally committed to using the computer when it is appropriate....There are truly 166 things that anyone should know before buying a computer or before giving up on the one they aready have. We think you will laugh and learn every step of the way.
