Many people can go through life without touching a computer and be none the worse for it.
But some people are being held back, personally or professionally, because they re just too nervous about computers to learn how to use them. The truth is, computers are annoying, frustrating, intimidating pains in the behind. Taming the Electronic Beast uses a combination of simple common sense, a little basic knowledge, a little psychology and a lot of humor to defang computers, and make them accessible to just about anyone. It is available from better bookstores, real and virtual, and directly from the publisher. If you have a true phobia or psychosis, or if the CIA is controlling your thoughts through the Internet or other technologies, seek a mental health professional.
