At Last… A Computer Book for the Rest of Us!

October 23, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
STOW, OH - There are computer books for "dummies" and most users beyond that - they know how to turn a computer on, check email, and surf the Internet. There are books for geniuses that are over-detailed on technology. But what about everyone else? Why can't there be a book to help with buying a new computer or help protect a user's computer and data without all the useless information?

Jim White set out to solve this problem with the publication of his latest book, "Just the Computer Essentials". This 288-page fun and informative book is jam-packed with answers to common questions that the everyday computer user is looking for. "Just the Computer Essentials" was written around Windows Vista™, Microsoft's new operating system and the version of Windows PC buyers will see on their next computer.

"Just the Computer Essentials" is 34 informative chapters written in more of a conversation than a manual to help ensure that it makes sense for the average Joe. And, because sometimes pictures speak louder than words, the 215 well-placed screen shots make sure readers can follow along with every step of the way.

"Just the Computer Essentials" focuses on the following areas:

* Understanding exactly what to know when buying a new PC
* Protecting from dangers such as viruses, spyware, spam and phishing
* Setting up a backup strategy to safeguard all important files
* Recovering from system problems - starting with the least intrusive all the way to disaster recovery
* Migrating files and settings from one computer to a new PC running the Windows Vista™ operating system

"Just the Computer Essentials" is available now at bookstores through Ingram Books or from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com , and other online retailers.

About the Author: With years of technical experience and the ability to talk to people without needing to overcomplicate everything, Jim White makes understanding computer essentials easy. More than eight years of on and off the job field experience has helped him understand not only the technical details of computers, but also exactly what areas users should be focusing on. Jim has worked hard and earned several certifications that now help him provide the advice you need for your home or home office. Here are just a few of the highly-regarded technical certifications held by Jim:

* Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
