Ensures maximum productivity by providing an intimate working knowledge of the personal computer at all levels. Uses the unique "Peter Norton" approach: expert advice in a user-friendly, hands-on exploratory mode. Topics covered: Inside IBM-standard PCs, processors, disks, memory, peripherals, networking (including the Internet), and the newest developments in 3-D audio and video.</p><h3>From Library Journal</h3><p>Norton's covers a lot of ground in very small print, intending to reach novice through advanced users. Beginners would be better served, however, by additional images or by a simpler title such as Larry Magid's The Little PC Book (Computer Media, LJ 4/1/02). On the other hand, intermediate users may appreciate the extensive glossary and classic "Peter's Principles," notes, and tips scattered throughout, as well as the convenience of having topics from networking to motherboards to data storage explained in one place.
