The Secret Guide to Computers by Russ Walter

I just received (Nov. 2000) the 27th edition with "10,000 improvements on the 26th edition." Having discovered this wellspring of computer lore and tutorials in 1993 (17th edition)I believe "Russy-poo" (his term) has continued to create a secret guide - secret in that it does not appear on most lists of best books on computers (being self-published may be a factor). I don't believe the average person can work his way through all that is available in this 637 page volume before the next edition is out. I mean the information given is truly encyclopedic and at an amazing price. What one also gets is free help - 24/7 (yes call when your phone rate is lowest) and Russ gives it to you direct and to the point. Walter lives being a "computer missionary" and I recommend checking this book out.

Great Book ...

This was a great book! It doesn't matter if you're into computers or not. Its a great place to start. The author also makes some jokes at computers and computer programmers. If you're thinking because you already know enought about computers you don't want to read it you're WRONG! You will like it even more! You will understand all the inside jokes (that he later explains)! I give it my strong recommendation!
