Gremlins on the Ponderosa: Computer Mythology for the Hardcore Newbie

Summary

Regular computer newbies are people who have an interest in learning how to use computers for work or pleasure. This book is not for them. The focus of this guide is the hardcore newbie - the person who has no desire to venture into the world of computers but needs to understand the basic concepts, who wants that Star Trek computer you can tell to "just do it." This book uses a whimsical framework to introduce the computer-phobic to the digital world in familiar terms, and just maybe, will encourage them to take that first step into the wonderful world of computing.
