    Synopsis

    Okay. Admit it. You've been putting off the decision to break down and buy a personal computer, which means that you're still banging away on a typewriter or -- gasp! -- writing stuff out by hand. You finally realize that, as the millennium approaches, it's time to jump onto the PC bandwagon and make your move into the future. But only one thing holds you back -- you don't have a clue as to what kind of computer you want, what software you need, or how to get any of it.

    Have no fear. Buying a Computer For Dummies takes all the pains and headaches out of buying a new computer. Whether you're a PC newbie or a veteran power-user, you'll find that Buying a Computer For Dummies is fully loaded with sound advice and easy-to-follow steps for making the right decisions about computing hardware and software. Modems? CD-ROMs? IDE or SCSI drives? All the answers you need are right here in this fast and friendly guide to computer-buying, along with loads of tips, commonly-asked questions (and answers), and software shopping worksheets.
