The Wall Street Journal Book of Personal Technology by Walter S. Mossberg

Description

This witty and candid guide cuts through the jargon, hype, and visionary mumbo-jumbo to explain in realistic, down-to-earth terms exactly what the newest computers, software, and communications devices can–and cannot–do for the average, intelligent “non-nerd.”

Editorial Review

For those who don't need to be computer experts but are willing and eager to gain the practical knowledge they need to buy a system, get it running and make good use of it, this book hits the bullseye.

Mossberg gives tips on buying hardware and software, getting on-line, and getting tech support, all with a “get it working and then forget it” approach. This book deserves the title of the first chapter “How To Stop Worrying And Get The Most From Your Computer.”
