software is here with THE WAY COMPUTERS & MS-DOS WORK from Microsoft
Press.

Vivid photography, art, and design tell the story in this exciting new
guide. Photos and easy-to-understand illustrations lead readers step by
step through the basics and beyond. Bite-sized pieces of text deliver
information fast and painlessly. There's no second guessing, no false
starts. It puts the fun back into learning to use a computer! And while
the book is aimed at beginners, the highly visual approach is designed so
that computer users at all levels can quickly turn to the information they
need.

"To many first-time computer users, 'seeing is believing, says Jim Brown,
Associate Publisher at Microsoft Press. "When real-world pictures show
computer users exactly how to do things much as a video would, it takes
the uncertainty out of the learning process. It's a real confidence
booster for people who might have been intimidated by computers in the
past."

THE WAY COMPUTERS & MS-DOS WORK is the first book in the highly visual
WYSIWYG Guide series from Microsoft Press. WYSIWYG (pronounced Wizzy-Wig)
stands for "What You See Is What You Get," an acronym that describes the
on-screen style of personal computing made popular by both the Microsoft
Windows operating system and the Apple Macintosh In the world of
computers, WYSIWYG means "What You See" on the computer screen is exactly
"What You Get" on the printed page. With the WYSIWYG Guides, what you see
on the page is what you'll experience -on the computer screen.
