AS ALWAYS, VERY INTUITIVE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I FOUND EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN A MATTER OF A FEW MINUTES READING AND APPLIED THE TUTORIAL INFORMATION TO THE COMPUTOR, JUST AS THE BOOK RECOMMENDED! "QUE" HAS ALWAYS HAD THE GOOD REPUTATION OF EASY, INTUITIVE INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE YEARS .........................
Again, Vista was never well received by experienced computer users. There were a lot of problems with it. Now it is outdated, along with all of the manual. Don't waste your money.
