Feedback from Readers of "Windows 95 Explained"
- “I think what I like most about your book is the free and easy and
sensible instructional style. It is like having a good friend nearby
teaching you Windows.” EC, USA.
- “I was introduced into the world of computing only last year, but
due to my visual disability, my sighted computer mentors had found
it very difficult to explain the Windows screen displays to me. With
the use of your book together with the braille-based tactile diagrams,
the impossible has been made possible.” KN, Nigeria.
- “What an awesome book!” Dl, USA.
- “Thank you for writing the marvellous ‘Windows 95 Explained’ book.
It’s a real lifeline. I’ve just finished it and now feel much happier
about tackling the new computer system we are to have at work.” GO,
UK.
- “I confess that I have always felt intimidated by Windows, but
with your Guide I am now beginning to realise that with the help of
a screenreader, I can actually use it to my satisfaction independently.”
VK, Kenya.
- “I wish I had had your Guide last year when I first got Windows
on my computer and HATED my computer. I didn’t want to turn it on.
Your book is excellent!” TM, Canada.
- "I've been using this for about 6 weeks and it's worth its weight
in gold!" KM, UK.
- "Your document is invaluable, and I'd like to express my heartfelt
thanks. Many of the problems I'd been having were not the fault of
the software, they were simply the result of my ignorance of Windows
95 and the fact that I'm the only blind user in my company, and nobody
could tell me how best to exploit Windows 95 without sight. Your documentation
has exactly plugged the gap and has been seminal in helping me get
my head around what Microsoft were trying to achieve." RD, UK.
- "I'm using it in two ways. One is to try to learn 95 in depth by
going right through it. The presentation is excellent. (The problem
is, as usual, trying to learn screen-reading programs at the same
time as learning the environment.) The second way I'm using it is
to search for actual 'how do I .....?' when I'm trying to do something
specific. For this it has already proved invaluable." PB, UK.
- "I would like to thank you for your contribution to my knowledge
of Windows. I am now able to work in Windows just as efficiently as
I used to work in DOS." GE, Spain.
- "May I congratulate you on an excellent book. Although I had been
working with 95 for some time before buying my copy, I have still
found it an excellent resource." PH. U.K.
- "Having worked with Windows 95 since 1995 I can say that your guide
is, in my humble, yet informed opinion, the best source of Windows
95 information for those of use who rely on screen access technology.
Not only did you present the information very well, but you did much
more than that: you managed to come up with a very successful approach
in explaining the visual elements of the operating system. This approach
bases the description of the Windows 95 interface elements on the
function, rather than the look of these elements, which makes learning
and teaching Windows with this tool a breeze. Thank you for writing
this outstanding book". OS, Moscow, Russia.
- "I'm learning heaps from reading it, and you obviously have a gift
for teaching and writing, and I'm very glad you were able to make
your gifts available to the world through the writing of the book.
If only you could teach some of your writing and teaching style/skill
to product developers for the writing of their manuals and tutorials
it would be a beautiful thing. Also, you make allusions in your book
to the graphical pictorial equivalents which I thought was great,
because when working with my family and colleagues I'd have some idea
of the links between the keyboard and mouse methods, to teach them
the most efficient method for them." GC, Australia.
- "Thanks for the announcement about Windows 95 Explained. I found
the first guide so useful that I have been anxiously awaiting this
new one." DN, USA.
Feedback from Readers of "Window Concepts"
- "Congratulations for the excellent quality of the book. I particularly
like your approach as it starts out with the fundamentals and does
not get carried away with details until much later. This is logical
to most of us but it is amazing how many writers of documentation
do not seem to agree." NJ, U.K.
- "I have studied a great deal of material about the Windows system,
and I am pleased to be able to say that this Guide is the best book
I have read. It has made everything much clearer and easier to understand,
and as a blind person, I now feel much more confident about using
Windows." JW, U.K.
- "I have been looking for a Braille book which would explain the
windows concepts and keystrokes with diagrams and had not been able
to find one. This is just what I had hoped for." MC, USA.
- "The folks I’ve used it with like the clear, narrative approach."
CH, USA.
- "This is a wonderful resource which will certainly benefit individuals
with visual impairments, university students and professionals working
in the field of visual impairment. We will be sharing it with everyone
we can." San Francisco State University, USA.
