Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Alright, but the price was steep. Comment: The book was fine, in the condition presented by the seller. Price for this book seemed a tad high. Customer Rating: Summary: Well suited for use as a text in courses called "Introduction to microcomputers" Comment: It has been a few years since I taught a college course that could be described by the phrase, "Introduction to microcomputers", and I am not sure when I will do so again. Nevertheless, I still occasionally examine books looking for a really good one that could be used to teach the class. That was the context within which I examined this book. I found it very suitable for such a course and would have no trouble using it as a text. The explanations are within the range of understanding that the students of such courses possess. There are a large number of colorful illustrations and a large set of questions appears at the end of each chapter. What I really loved about the book is the large number of quotes. Once I opened the book, I leafed through it reading all of them. It was a microcosmic lesson in the history of computing, scientific advancement and how computers are altering society. I can strongly recommend this book as a text in any course that can be described by the phrase "Introduction to microcomputers." It has all the required material and a great deal of tasty "informational sugar." More Reviews
