The irascible Mom and her sidekicks offer insider knowledge with a sense of humor for becoming a Windows 98 power user, describing how Windows 98 really works (not how it's supposed to work) and explaining all of the latest features. Layout is busy, with little icon people offering too much, often extraneous, information. Coverage includes Windows concepts, components, Internet tools, networking, multimedia, installation, and the registry. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
