Today, one in three American households has a computer. In 1995, millions of people will buy computers, but what happens when they get it home? That's when the questions begin and no one answers more computer questions than Gina Smith and Leo Laporte. During the past four years, they have fielded thousands of questions on their nationally syndicated radio talk show, "On Computers," on their TV program, "The Personal Computing Show," and in "The Help File," Smith's Q&A column in the San Francisco Examiner. They have answered each one simply, knowledgeably, and with a terrific sense of humor. This book answers the most common questions computer beginners ask including: What does the "Intel Inside" sticker really mean? What's the best way to keep from getting a computer virus? Which online service is best for me? Even - How do I get the dog hair out of my disk drive? The book is divided into four sections with shopping advice, hints on getting the most out of your hard drive, sample ideas for solving software problems, and how to get your computer onto the information superhighway.
