Computer Basics Book

SophiaGrace · Apr 9, 2010

So, today I bought The Complete Idiot's Guide to Computer Basics.

Yeah, I know that I said I wanted to learn programming but I felt like if I could understand everything in this basic book then perhaps I could move onto a book about how Windows vista worked and then branch out from there.

I bought the 5th edition.

Not a bad idea.

Good luck on it all!

Why would you want to learn how to program? Don't you know that computers will one day rise up against their masters and murder us all?

...or is that why you're doing it?!

AndrewM · Apr 12, 2010

Good luck! I used to be a computer programmer and I'd be interested to know how you go. Keep us posted.

You don't need to worry about that. There is a much more insidious creature that will dominate the planet when they feel that the time is right. Computers and the rest only serve to take the focus away from the real threat.

Programing can be fun to play around with. I don't know if Lurker's interest is to try to make a living at it.

That, i feel, is one of the main reasons that they will succeed. This tendency to trivialize the threat. It all fairness it seems to be only those closest to them that suspect they are a threat. Some of them are very aware that they are being watched and see this coming, while others even knowing that we are being watched remain blissfully unaware of what it means. The future domination of mankind.

Luis told me when i finish this book i'll be a level .5

He also told me that my current level of skill on the computer is -1.

I have no idea what this scale of competency means

SophiaGrace · Apr 23, 2010

Now I'm on chapter 7

. I just finished chapter 6: Windows XP up close and personal.

SophiaGrace · Apr 23, 2010

I just finished chapter 7 and am now bored. I need to go back and re-read chapter 6 and 7 sometime...maybe tomorrow.

Yes, I have read this book before some times ago. And I really came to know that this is the book for that person who really don't know anything about computer. There is really very basic of the computer. This is a wonderful straight forward book for beginners and intermediate PC users. I have used PCs for years and just wanted to make sure that I did not have any gaps in my knowledge and I found out a lot of stuff that I didn't even know.

Tell me SophiaGrace is this book easy to follow. Cos my Nan has a computer book that someone at this class she gows to gave her and honestly she gives it to me to help her with and it never makes seance to me. It always seems like they go around the long way and make things moor complicated then it has to be. I always just end up putting the book down and saying to me Nan just tell me what you wont to know and I show you.

This is why I don't go to college for anything. They always seem to teach you in a complicated way. I seem to be a million times better at teaching my self what ever I need to know. And actually I tout me self how to use a computer pretty dame well in a short space of time

Zak · Jun 14, 2010

Oh I tried telling my mom what is the difference between restart button and power on button and I quit.

Badjedidude · Jun 14, 2010

LOL!

haha yeah I know... my mom still has trouble differentiating between icons and links...and whether to click once or twice, depending on what she's clicking. Haha so she ends up double running programs on her computer all the time.
