This book is your answer - everything that you want to do on your home computer is straightforward and easy to do once you know how - and this book will tell you how in the most accessible, easy-to-use and friendly way, guiding you through the main features of the most common applications and their uses, showing you how to do exactly what you want to do - and some things you didn't even know were possible.

It will also give you enough of an understanding of how your home computer works and enough confidence in handling the software to allow you to explore further in complete confidence.
