註釋This new tour guide to the computer shopping experience provides what no other computer buyer's guide does: an easy-to-read, common sense perspective on buying computers. The book is aimed primarily at the non-technical reader, & focuses on ways to simplify & organize the computer buying process. Written in a simple, clear style, it contains a wealth of useful, densely-packed information & computer lore. "Parker systematically surveys equipment ranging from keyboards, monitors, disk drives, & mouse(s) to RAM & ROM, making comparisons & occasionally criticizing. He tutors the reader on differentiating personal needs, tailoring purchases to needs, & discriminating business from personal usage, & he provides historically steeped coverage of standards & compatibility, while extensively inspecting the MS-DOS, OS-2 & UNIX operating systems."--ALA BOOKLIST. Computer buying guides typically are comprised of long lists of features & comparisons of specific brands & models of equipment. This book takes a very different, more qualitative approach, which will be appreciated by many readers: "Parker fights buying-guide obsolescence by focusing on user understanding & ballpark costs rather than on model number specifics of different computers... This title offers more in-depth guidance for the novice than (three recent computer buying guides listed). Recommended."--Library Journal.
