May 04, 2009: As one whose family thinks of as technologically-challenged, I headed straight for this book when I bought my STORM. It helped me get started and now I go back when I'm ready to go more in depth or need help or a a review.
My disappontment has been that it seems the book was written slightly before my version of the STORM, because some of the data does not fit my options. But I'd not have come this far without it, so have to say it helped!
