Sams Teach Yourself Computer Basics in 24 Hours, Third Edition is the replacement documentation that you don't get with sub-$1000 computers. It's designed to be an "all-in-one solution" to help users to get up and running on their computer and learn all the software applications that came pre-loaded on their system. This book is a cost-efficient alternative for the user who will probably not purchase separate books on general PCs, Windows, the Internet, Word, and Excel.
