The purpose of A Consumer's Guide to Personal Computing and Microcomputers was to familiarize the reader with basic information on personal computing with microcomputers. It assumes the reader has no previous knowledge or experience with either computers or microcomputers. This guide is split into two sections. The first section introduces the reader to fundamental principles and definitions. The second section, Chapters 6 through 10, reviews many available microcomputers in various formats.
