101944 2002-11-27 09:49:00 Have a look where the computer magazines are in a book shop and you should find some magazine style beginners guides to using Windows systems.
They are easy to follow with clear instructions and don't cost the earth.

If you don't mind buying online, Tech Books NZ (http://www.techbooks.co.nz) is a good place to start, and they're really helpful too!

101947 2002-11-27 23:15:00 I think IDG are gonna put out a PC for Newbies or something soon. It was mentioned in the "Imag's CLosing down" Thread. I'll do a quick search and see if there's any more on it! Chilling_Silence (9)
101948 2002-11-28 01:03:00 Don't know where you live but if you have a good library nearby have a browse in there . They usually have a nice selection of good books and magazines (including PC World :p) that you should find helpful .

NZ PC World is very good for their How To's so if you can get a stack of old ones from a friend or cheap from a second hand shop it will be a good investment .

Don't forget the internet too - there are HEAPS of excellent sites that explain things clearly . Just do a search on Google for the topic you want with the word "tutorial" included .
