COMPUTER QUESTIONS ARE EASILY RESOLVED WITH 1,001 KOMPUTER ANSWERS FROM KIM
KOMANDO

IDG Books Worldwide's new book by consumer computer expert, Kim Komando,
brings solutions to every computer user

FOSTER CITY, California, February 27, 1995 - Computers are confusing to
many of us. So, IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. Has collaborated with the
computer expert and tutor, Kim Komando, to publish "1,001 Komputer Answers
from Kim Komando." The book is an information-packed question-and-answer
encyclopedia essentially written by millions of computer users. All of the
questions in the book were sent to and answered by Komando in her
enormously successful Komputer Klinic "Leave Questions Get Answers" Board
on America Online or one of her other media forums. Anyone who's ever had
a computer question will find the answer in this comprehensive book.

"Combine the best qualities of Bill Gates, Ralph Nader, Howard Stern, Dear
Abby, and Marilyn Monroe, and you've got Kim Komando!" said Ted Leonsis,
President, America Online.

People from all walks of life are buying computers and most have a lot of
questions as soon as they take it out of the box. Many consumers feel
embarrassed about asking question after question to family members,
friends, and co-workers. That was the inspiration behind "1,001 Komputer
Answers from Kim Komando."

"This book is just like having Kim's personal telephone number and her
knowledge to help you any time you need her!" says Sarah Purcell, writer
of the book's foreword, "At last, the answers we all need - without all
the `computerese' - are within reach."

The book is organized so that the reader can find an answer quickly and
easily. There's even a bonus CD-ROM that includes all of the questions in
an even easier-to-search hypertext format, as well as a FREE, one-month
trial membership to America Online (a $25 U.S. value).

"Kim Komando is the perfect author to write a computer question and answer
book," said John Kilcullen, President and CEO, IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.
"Over 12 million people turn to Kim Komando each week for answers to their
computer questions. Komando's ability to speak in lay terms and entertain
simultaneously, has endeared her to millions of computer users."

"IDG Books Worldwide is a company that not only publishes bestsellers by
the millions, but also stays close to the customer," said Kim Komando.
"IDG customers are proud to be a part of the IDG family - you gotta love a
company that can accomplish such a task in a highly competitive market."
