What really makes this book unique, is its focus on files. Understanding files is the key to understanding and using a PC. You'll learn everything you need to know about files, file types, manipulating files and most importantly, the file structure. Several step-by-step tutorials are included.
Hundreds of hours of research went into the writing of this book. The results indicated that the difference between a computer expert and a novice was really nothing more than the understanding of files and the filing system. The users that can use, troubleshoot, and maintain their computers have this understanding of files.
Unfortunately, almost every basic PC book ignores this fact or assumes that the reader won't understand. Computer Secrets I taught My Mom changes all that.
In addtion to being the perfect solution to those who are not PC experts, this book makes a perfect gift for parents, friends and anyone else who you might provide "technical support" to.

Ordering directly from this website ultimately puts a bit more money in my pocket. And wouldn't you rather order directly from an independant author/publisher trying to make a living than from a huge, multi-national corporation trying to make a killing? I appreciate your business either way!
