Eric,
I think there is a way for us to read them, I'm just too lazy to
figure it out.
Thank you for doing it up for me.
You will all be happy to know I have purchased a computer. Now If I can
figure it out, I'll be able to read not only all the posts and sites but
I'm working on reading minds too!!!

Doris, computers are easy. I would suggest getting one of the how to picture
books for Windows XP if you have never used a computer before, should be
enough to get you going.

third advice - when you set up windows xp he first time, it offers to take
you on a tour. the tour takes about 45 minutes, but its well worth the
time.

4th advice - windows help is pretty good in most cases. don't be afraid to
use it.

"Windows XP for Rather Clever Folk", but I don't think there's any such

Tom, we are not talking about someone who is experiencing mid level Windows XP
problems. We are talking about someone on a WebTV that has absolutely no experience
in computers at all. The XP hands on picture books that show and explain how to do
the most basic stuff is exactly what Doris needs to start out with.

The book Using Windows XP Professional by Cowart & Knittel seems pretty
thorough (1272 pages) and a new edition covering SP2 just came out.

Thanks to all for your advice. I will get a book with pictures.
"Dummies" books may be too advanced for me, but I'll try it.

I set people up all the time who are either totally new to computer, or
upgrade from an ancient version of Windows. Starting out fresh, you
want to go with the hands on picture book, then maybe a dummies
book, and then some of the more advanced books. The picture book
will explain how to start up and turn off the computer, how to access
basic programs like the web browser and email client, and how to navigate
Windows. Windows XP isn't that hard compared to earlier versions. Just
go to your local book store and there should be at least three different versions
of the picture books.
