anyone new to computers who wants to understand what a personal computer
is, and what it can do. "My goal is to dispel fears and bring readers to a
basic level of computing confidence and competence. The book is written to
educate both the curious, and the person who has had a computer thrust
upon them in the workplace," says Turley.

Tens of thousands of readers enjoyed the first edition's friendly tone and
clear question-and-answer format which made PCs Made Easy a bestselling
guide. "I've received a lot of feedback from readers of the first book.
I've incorporated their suggestions, and wrote This book with those
readers in mind," says Turley.

With the help of a wealth of illustrations for easy understanding, the
second edition will have readers exploring the anatomy and capabilities of
a computer, including the functions of memory, disks, files, and
programs.

Turley also explains how operating systems and popular software
applications work including word processing, spreadsheets, and databases.

PCs Made Easy. Second Edition also devotes sections to explaining the
basics of printing procedures, networks, multimedia, online services, and
special hardware. Turley even provides valuable tips on shopping for a
computer and applications that suit individual needs.

While advances in technology may make personal computing seem more daunting
than ever, PCs Made Easy. Second Edition provides novices with a solid
footing to enter this exciting new world.
