Windows Vista for Beginners Just the Computer Essentials - Book Review "Just the Computer Essentials" is a great book for beginners. James White writes in a very non-geeky way which is easy to understand by people who are not familiarized with computers. Reading this book helps you understand how your computer functions, how to work with Windows Vista, how to keep both your operating system and your data safe. I recommend it to everybody that is not very savvy when it comes to computers and Windows Vista.! Read more here...

The TEKE Teke Develops No-Nonsense Computer Guide James A. White (Iota-Pi Chapter, Kent State University) recently published a book, "Just the Computer Essentials," that helps answer questions the everyday computer user is looking for. There are books for "dummies" and books for geniuses. Jim realized that most users fall in between those and successfully bridged the gap with a straightforward, no-nonsense guide that takes the reader step by step through buying and maintaining a PC running the Windows Vista operating system.
