A well-established survivors guide for the computer initiate that explains how to zero in on finding the right beginners system
- Industry analysts predict that the home PC penetration rate may soon reach the 60% mark--many of these purchases will be made by new users.
- Though PC sales are slowing down, the number of sub-$1,000 systems, second-hand computers and computer peripheral sales stand to remain at substantial levels. Enough so to justify an updated plain-English guide that can quickly, yet comfortably, acquaint people with their new PC and related appliances
- Shifts in PC user demographics now favor middle-aged women of modest income and education (51%), claims an American Demographics article (March 2001). These statistics coincide quite closely to CIGs target reader market as well.
