Every Family's Guide to Computers is written specifically for families who recently purchased a computer and want to know more than just how to play Solitaire. Winston Steward and his family have spent the past two years learning how to make their computer a useful household tool. This book discusses how current software can provide a dazzling new development in childhood education, and Steward highlights the programs available which can open up a child's imagination in fresh, new ways. Parents can realize all that a computer is capable of and that it functions as more than just a glorified typewriter. Readers will also learn quick and reliable troubleshooting tips for their hard drive, sound card, memory management, CD-ROM drive, printer, compressed drives, and more. Included are reviews of the latest educational software and games and a close-up look at desktop publishing and computer graphics programs.
