What do you call a book that offers lots of good reasons not to buy
name-brand computers? One that explains why 99-percent of all computer
users should avoid Windows? A book that shows how you can find a complete
computer system that will do everything you need to do for less than $100:
maybe even free? A book that is willing to tell users that Microsoft never
gets anything right the fist time? The answer is COMPUTING FOR
CHEAPSKATES: written by Bob Nadler and just published by Ziff-Davis Press
(paperback, $12.95, ISBN 1-56276-293-1).

COMPUTING FOR CHEAPSKATES explains what you really need to compute, rather
than what the computer industry would have you believe is necessary. It
illuminates every aspect of computing, including many that the industry
would prefer left in the dark. Some of the solutions it recommends may
make Bill Gates ill. An example is a GUI that runs on XTs, does true
preemptive multitasking, runs DOS applications perfectly, and unlike
Windows, seldom crashes.

COMPUTING FOR CHEAPSKATES provides detailed instructions on how to buy a
computer. It explains all the little ploys you can use to beat the price
down to next to nothing. It offers hundreds of sources for legitimate,
free, excellent software, such as a WYSIWYG desktop-publishing program,
and another that adds a Windows-like clipboard to plain old DOS. It also
offers a long appendix that lists dirt-cheap sources for everything
connected with computing. And COMPUTING FOR CHEAPSKATES includes an
extensive glossary, replete with some humerous definitions that also may
give dyspepsia to some in the computer industry.
