About the Book

This is a must-have video for every computer beginner! It's time to get to know that computer! Viewers learn the basics with Chris and Kate so that they are ready to use their PCs to their fullest capacities. The experts from TechTV not only show the physical components of a computer but also familiarize the viewer with key applications. From how to boot up, to using word processing, spreadsheets, email, and the Internet, this video helps viewers grow their computer skills while providing entertainment as well. This video also covers basic uses and applications of audio, video, and media player programs. Finally, it shows how to safely shut down the machine. The hosts demonstrate how to become more comfortable with the computer and how to make it a functional tool. TechTV has a dedicated a companion Website (www.techtv.com/computerbasics) to show all URL addresses mentioned in the video, plus links to articles and other sites for additional information.
