Notes of my book

[Jeremy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This had actual, practical how-to instructions. The also gave rather sage advice about shortcuts and the easy way around. This was much better. If you're looking for something that says "Here's how to fix it." as opposed to "Here's how to call tech support." this is your book.
