About The Author
Stephie Smith has been tutoring the basics of the Windows PC system since 1995. BASICS Of Windows: The Easy Guide to Vista & XP - Part 1 (and Parts 2 - 6) came about as a result of that tutorial program.
Reader ReviewsBasics of Windows should be shipped with every PC with Windows. Stephie Smith has made learning Windows so simple even a caveman could do it! Her basic approach obviously comes from her real-life instruction to non-PC users on how to maneuver around the screen. The clever cartoons show how you can't take things literally when using a PC. The large, color screenshots show exactly where you are and what to do for both Windows XP and Vista. This handy booklet is the perfect PC desk reference for those new to the PC-scene!
