THE SECRET GUIDE TO COMPUTERSIf you think those computer books "....for Dummies" series put out by IDG Books Worldwide are the funniest and most witty computer books around, then obviously you haven't read "The Secret Guide to Computers" by Russ Walter. Let me tell you this Russ Walter's book, for at least the past two decades, has been setting the standard for humor in teaching computer and the book many "....for dummies" and "Complete Idiot's Guide..." authors try to emulate.
