Excellent Tech Reference - and it's free

I can't believe the number of people in here who write negative comments about this book. I guess they don't realize that the book is free in pdf form, and has been for a long time. So, if you don't like it, you could have read the free version and not paid a dime.

For me, this is an excellent resource for a multitude of things. Granted, yes, we could go out and find that same information on the internet with various topics within the book. However, the author has taken her ideas and what she's gone through, and put them into an easy, single reference that would otherwise be quite a few hours searching the internet. I am buying the book because I think it's an excellent resource, and I will use it time and time again, so why not contribute to the author's hard work by allowing her to benefit for the effort she put forth so we wouldn't have to take all that time.

No single person knows everything, and even though I'm a tech, there are still things I learned in this book that I didn't know, or didn't know existed. This is a great reference book, and I am buying it to pay homage to the author, as well as for future reference. Outstanding work, Gina.

Computer Tips

Well worth buying. Excellent tips, internet freebies and great directions on how to implement the ideas. You can do an overview in a few hours by skipping the detailed directions. I learned a lot of great tips to make my computer more productive and easier to use. As useful as the "Dummies" series.

Great book that you don't have to read all at once

This is a great pragmatic book for those that are looking to improve their productivity using technology. The format of the book is particularly well suited for those of us "on the go" and find it challenging to read a book at one sitting. Most of the 88 "hacks" in the book do not rely on knowledge from other hacks, but, if they do, the other hacks are clearly indicated in the text. Because of this, you can easily jump right into the middle of the book and learn something beneficial. The other great thing about this book is that the companion website [..] makes it a living, breathing experience so, if you are looking for more, the author's website keeps you regularly up to date.

Definitely not for the novice

I'm sure this is a great book for technophiles, but as someone who has begrudgingly come into the computer age, I found this book to be both overwhelming and hard to follow. It has lots of tips, but I found it impossible to sift through. I passed the book on to one of my more techno friends.
