Ten Cool Things to Do in Windows 98 From the Just-Released Book Windows 98 in a Nutshell
SEBASTOPOL, CA -- O'Reilly & Associates has announced the publication of
Windows 98
in a Nutshell, co-authored by Tim O'Reilly, the publisher whose books
have revolutionized computer book publishing with their commonsense approach,
depth of detail, and focus on practical information. To the point,
authoritative, no-nonsense solutions have always been a trade-mark of
O'Reilly books. The In a
Nutshell books raise that philosophy to an art form.
"The kind of computer books being written really hasn't changed much since the
80s," says Tim O'Reilly. "But the computer users have changed. We're no
longer a generation of 'dummies'. Computer users are more sophisticated.
They've used computers for years now. They don't need a lot of fluff; they
don't need handholding. They want really useful, non-obvious information,
and they want it quickly. There's more information in Windows 98 in a
Nutshell than in a whole shelf of Windows 98 books. Guaranteed."
Windows 98
in a Nutshell is a comprehensive, compact reference that
systematically unveils what serious users of Windows 98 will find
interesting and useful. Little known details of the operating system,
utility programs, and configuration settings are all captured in a
consistent reference format.
Based on the best-selling
Windows 95 in a
Nutshell and using the popular
In a Nutshell approach, this book contains more information about using
Windows 98 than any other book on the market. If you can't remember which
option on a dialog box controls a function, or if you just want to have a
better handle on what's available in Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second
Edition, Windows 98 in a Nutshell
cuts through the hype and gives practical details you can use every day.
