Taming Your Computer: The Simple Basics by Barb Walker

This book is a MUST for computer novices, especially senior citizens. Similar to Taming Your Computer Beyond the Basics, large type and numerous diagrams make the step-by-step instructions easy to follow. This book differs from "traditional" computer manuals because it's organized in a Question and Answer format rather than boring instructions in tiny type.

It takes the reader from the absolute beginning, describing the parts of the computer and their purpose. It also explains the parts of the computer screen and how to "navigate" in Microsoft Windows. Several pages are dedicated to the keyboard and the function of unfamiliar keys.
