About the Book

To many PC users, the inside of their equipment is thought to be far too complicated to ever understand or to venture into. This small book explains in as non-technical language as possible, how a PC works, what each part does and how all the parts operate together to run your programs. Apart from obtaining a better understanding of how your PC operates, you will also find the information invaluable should you need to expand or upgrade your present computer or should you experience any hardware or software problems. The information is also extremely useful in helping you to make an informed choice when considering buying a new PC. A book for both young readers who are just taking their first steps in computing and also order readers who may think it is too late or too difficult to gain the necessary knowledge.
