About the Book

This text provides an excellent balance of fundamental hardware and software concepts and/or applications. Features: * Essential hardware and systems concepts are presented in Part 1. Software concepts are handled in considerable detail within individual chapters in Part I and in the optional tutorials. * Increasingly important topics are addressed, such as financial analysis with spreadsheets and accounting packages, budget software, and telecommunications. * Computer security and privacy issues are addressed throughout the text and receive expanded attention in the chapter on computers in society. * The personal computer is completely integrated into the text. Rather than treating the personal computer as a special type of computer to be dealt with in a separate chapter, every chapter discusses aspects of both the mainframe and the personal computer. * The optional tutorials are derived from McKeown and Badarinathi's Applications Software Tutorials, formerly the commercial lab manual to accompany McKeown's Living With Computers. They provide 15 lab sessions for hands on practice with DOS, WordPerfect 5.1, Lotus 1-2-3 versions 2.3 and 2.4, dBASE III PLUS and dBASE IV. * Published comments by industry leaders are printed in the margins to give the student a variety of views on all aspects of the computer industry. * Numerous boxed inserts illustrate computer concepts, provide historical anecdotes, and cite industry leaders, providing students with a feel for the many ways computers affect their lives. * Timely articles include "Surviving in Kuwait on 1-2-3", "Database Helps Fight on AIDS", and "Will you drive a 'Smart' Car?" * The Microsoft Windows environment is addressed extensively. Topics include Windows WYSIWYG word processing, and spreadsheets for Windows. * Includes new discussions of supercomputers, virtual reality, network operating systems and the latest information on computers and personal privacy and computer-related careers. * New pedagogical devices include numbered and cross-referenced keystroke instructions throughout the software tutorials.
