Intro Computer Book Question


Recommended Posts

My wife's uncle has been hinting (heavily) that he would like to start learning how to use his computer. We were thinking of buying him a book (or two) for christmas that would help him out - the problem is, we are both self-taught. We really don't know which books would be of value to him, or what subjects we should focus on.

So that is the question - what books would you recommend for the completely inexperienced user, who only wants to use their computer like they use their TV or VCR?

Thanks

Give him a Unix one, and tell him you're not holding his hand while he learns.

A cheaper option would be to 'hold his hand' until logged in and then show him 'man' and tell him to read it all. :rolleyes: :whistle:
