Press Release Summary: This book does for computer users what \"The Elements of
Style\" has done for writers for decades. It takes all of the essential knowledge
needed to work with computers and puts it into one concise handbook that is easy to
understand.

Press Release Body: Kevin Whitham, a Senior Computer Specialist at the University of
Washington, has written a new book for computer users called, \"The Elements of
Computing, A Common Sense Guide to Computer Tech Support\".

This book does for computer users what \"The Elements of Style\" has done for writers
for decades. It takes all of the essential knowledge needed to work with computers
and puts it into one concise handbook that is easy to understand.

Instead of the usual 300+ page computer manual that explains every step-by-step
procedure, Mr. Whitham's book gives the end user an overall approach for installing
applications, networking, security, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Users gain
confidence to explore and learn new skills.

Whitham has helped troubleshoot computers with students, international scientists,
and professors for over a decade. "We can assume that most users know how to switch
on their computer and which connector plugs in to which color-coded cable."

The book is a must-have guide for anyone who is new to computers, a student, a
technical staff member, or a computing instructor.

"This makes a good companion to \"The Elements of Style\", because if you are writing
anything, you are probably doing it on a computer."

"The Elements of Computing" is available through www.amazon.com.
