definitely a book for computer beginners only, it has a easy to follow layout with diagrams and illustrations. will be quite redundant for those who know their way around a computer. my favorite quote so far:

"Although e-mail is delivered quickly, it is important to use proper netiquette when composing a message. Netiquette (Internet etiquette) is a series of customs or guidelines for maintaining civilized and effective communications in online discussions and exchanges. For example, typing in all caps, such as 'WHAT DID YOU DO?' is considered shouting and rude."

i mean, come on.

This is my textbook for my new class this semester. I have started the first chapter. I like the pictures and the easy vocabulary definitions of unfamiliar and familiar terms.
