     As the costs of many computer systems continue to come down more people are flocking to the stores, mail order companies, and the online sites to snap them up. Many of these people have never used one before or didn't have the time to figure out how they worked. Nat Gertler has written Easy PCs to acquaint new users with the basic operation and use of the latest computer technology.      Although computers have been around for a number of years now, many people still find them threatening to the way they have traditionally accomplished their work. Others may not feel comfortable taking on new technology altogether. This book was written to make the learning process a fun and enjoyable endeavor no one should shy away from.      Easy PCs is a wonderfully color illustrated and designed book that offers readers a very friendly introduction to computer technology. Readers are provided with information on how to set them up, connect major components, starting them, taking precautions, working with the Windows operating system, setting up the desktop display, choosing a screen saver, using sound, operating programs, going online, downloading programs, and more!      As are other books in Que's popular Easy ... series, this large easy-to-read book is well-suited for students, beginners, small companies, and even senior citizens who desire or may require an illustrated approach to learning. Readers will have no trouble learning how to successfully put computers to use. This book is highly recommended for children of grade school age. This book would make a great beginner's guide too!
