I wrote a book to help people better understand how to accomplish tasks on a computer. It's based on Windows XP. I've started working on a version for Windows 7. It is written for people who don't understand how computers work, but still want to or need to use them. It's called The Manual That Didn't Come With Your Computer (But Should Have) . I found a place to publish it online if you want to buy a hardcopy. I get a small portion of the proceeds from these sales to help convince me to finish writing the next version.
