Complete with tutorials and resources at the author’s website, AskAbbyStokes.com, this book is offered up as a “total tech” guide for those who need help with computers and navigating the Internet.
At the get-go, we are told about computers and software and how they operate with key features like flash drives and CD’s. This prepares you for shopping for your own computer, whether it be a tablet, laptop, PC or Mac desktop. A handy Test-Drive Form can be filled out and taken with you to the store in order to ensure you get what you need. Once home, you are guided through each step from turning the machine on to adding apps. An entire section is devoted to email, sending and receiving attachments, plus more.
This book basically sums up all you need to take the frustration out of navigating your way through the purchase of a computer, its setup and usage. It explains everything with the aid of graphics and screen shots so you can have fun using this incredible piece of technology to play games and keep in touch with loved ones.
