Summary: Tame that "Personal Confuser" !!!
Review: "Poor Leo's 2002 Computer Almanac" is filled with tips and useful information in an easy to read almanac. Not only for beginners, this book written by the popular host of "The Screen Savers" on Tech TV, contains daily tips and brief essays about some of the most frequently asked topics concerning "Personal Confusers," as Leo likes to call them! Having hosted TV shows like "Call for Help," an hour long TV program devoted to "newbies" and computers, and "The Screen Savers," a daily 90 minute live TV show for the more advanced computer and technology enthusiast, Leo has condensed his vast knowledge and expertise into an easy to read format of daily advice and tips. Mac and Linux are covered, but mostly this book is for someone who has a PC and wants to demystify the computer experience and become more confident in using it. Leo covers a lot of ground in this book, and even delves into more "geeky" topics from time to time, like installing Linux; but if your Mom or GrandMOM just got a computer, this book will certainly help them become more adept at mastering the computer. From a series of new offerings by Tech Tv and Cue Publishing, this is the book to get! For the more advanced user, the How-To videos are a more in-depth guide to building your own computer etc., but of the many books just published, this one is, by far, the most entertaining and useful.

Review: Even if you are really geeky, you are bound to learn something from this book . There is so much stuff. Its like having a years worth of tips and ideas he has on his techtv show crammed into one book. Some stuff I knew, but learning shortcuts and such I didnt know made it well worth it. One dea can save lots of time money or aggravation. Good bathroom reading too. In his next years book perhaps the publisher will splurge and do color on the inside pages, making it easier to seperate different sections and types of information , but dont let that stop you from learning somethings you don't know. Get it.

Summary: Excellent work Leo... Great book.
Review: I actually found your book at my local B&N and can't put it down. I then bought a copy for my parents and several non-geek friends. The tips in this book are priceless and could help many newbies. The only problem I see is that with the rate Microsoft moves, some of this will be outdated by the end of the year. Anyway, kudos... and I look forward to Leo's next book.

Review: I bought this book because Leo has my kind of sense of humor and he's the computer Buddha! I'd probably even buy his stinky shoe if he signed it and slapped a barcode on it. Whether you know very little about computers or a whole lot, you must buy this book. You will use and enjoy it all year round. (Ok Leo, now where's my 10 bucks?) Just a joke, folks. <gets on his pogo and hops off into the sunset...>

Review: I bought this book solely based on the fact that Leo wrote it. Leo has got to be the coolest geek in the world. I like this book because the structure is unique. Each day of the calendar year Leo gives a new tidbit of information so you can start your day with something new for the whole year. Keep in mind this book is mainly for beginning computer users. Most advanced users will not get much out of this book. I liked it though because it's Leo and he's funny and writes like he runs his shows. I did learn a thing or two as well. Definitely a must have for the Leo fan and the beginning to intermediate computer enthusiast.
