I didn't actually read most of this because it's 2025 and I know how to use a computer, but it was such a time capsule to look through! The book I found at Goodwill hadn't even used the CD at all and it still worked which was really the best part.

Great advise on beginning with your computer. I didn't know that people already tell same things 10 years ago!

There is a version for WinXP. Don't know if they will released for Windows 7 or Mac & Linux - it could be as great too. ^_^
