Not a bad book - By: J. Ellis, 25 Jun 2007 
Ok, I have never ever used dos, so this book is great, its nice & easy to read & very helpful to get you going, but! his jokes are very bad & there just too many, I just started to get really into a subject & he would just spoil it with a very geeky sad joke. Other than that the book is fantastic for dos beginners.
This is really " Computers for Dummies" in disguise. - By: B. Chandler, 21 Oct 2004 
The covers is "DOS for Dummies; however on further inspection you will find it also describes how indirect hardware, modems, dealing with diskettes, dealing with databases, using msbackup of & the differences between the different DOS's.
GOOD at most bits BAD at some bits. - By: , 31 Jul 1999 
I thought it is aright book & a good reference book. The reason why I gave a low rating becausein some parts it lost me. I didn't understand a bitin those parts which lost me. It had a tiny bit of humour & got boring at most times. There is also good think about & a bad thing about the book. I will tell the good thing, it tells you how to connect printers, modems & other hardware. If you are a beginner who knows ZIP about installing hardware & software this is the book. But on the other hand I knew how to install hardware & software so it got boring. There should be two types of book, the book which is released now & a new book only about DOS nothing else.
This book explained about DOS, and Campared it with Windows - By: , 11 Jul 1998 
I thought that the book was an excellent book. It easily told you what DOS is doing, & why it is not as good as MS Windows. The book also gave the difference between the different DOSes there are. There is not much to say about this book , only that it is a great book. I have to say, DOS is very annyoing & slow, & the book really pushed that. That is why I am giving this book a 4
Good book - By: , 30 Oct 1997 
It's a good DOS reference when you need it, it can teach you how to do some nice tricks with DOS, & it's got jokes all throughout the book. A little unorganized but overall it's a nice book for anyone who wants to learn about DOS.
