Miller, who has an admirable track record in explaining things, focuses on what new users want to do with their machines, literally starting with how to affix the cables. He walks through the operating systems and gives advice on upgrading systems (including setting up a home network), installing new software, using the word processor, setting up spreadsheets, preparing presentations, and banking. He then explores the Internet, explaining surfing, searching, shopping, auctioning, social networking, and messaging. He then covers taking digital pictures, editing, doing all those odd things we do with CDs, attaching other electronic devices, downloading and playing videos and creating your own movies.
