Title: DOS for Dummies by Dan Gookin ISBN: 0-7645-0361-8 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 19 May, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $21.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.55 (11 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Very Good Book, but pertains more toward the Prehistoric Age
Comment: like I said, good book, but a bit outdated. The author talks about 50 MByte disk drives as being huge and about 5 inch floppy disks. This is like reading Aristotle's physics instead of Newton's. If you use DOS it will help you of course, but ignore most of the talk about hardware. Covers DOS commands very well. Contains interesting trivia about computers too (the life span of a hard drive is about 4 years, unless this is outdated too). To conclude, if you use DOS, it will suite you. Even better seem to be the DOS reference book for Dummies.
Rating: 5
Summary: The dummy books are the "cliff notes" of computing.
Comment: -----DOS for dummies is the most helpful computer guide I
have ever laid my brown eyes apon. It has everything from
turning on the computer to editing you configuration files.
It has several jokes about PC's and even some cartoons!
Whether you just got your computer yesterday or you MAKE
computers this book is helpful. In the front it has some
cheat sheets and quick refrence guides that are really
helpful. I have had this book for 2 years now and still
find myself reading it.
-----So even if you don't plan on spending time in DOS
(which you always end up doing anyways) GET THIS BOOK!!!!

Summary: Dos For Children
Comment: This book has little or no real content. It looks good on the surface but there is nothing underneath.
In the interest of system safety the author has left out so much information it leaves the book essentially useless. Worse, it gives the impression that some of the things you may need to do can't be done.
This book may be okay for teaching children a limited use of dos but anyone that has any judgement at all needs more information.
