PC First-Aid Kit

Whole Earth Review, Summer, 1994 by Harlan Hoffman

I hAve been lost in my PC's win.ini, sys.ini, autoexec.bat config.sys files too many times to tell you. I have made changes, and then forgotten what they were, re-booted, and found myself staring into a screen that has no relationship to anything ive ever seen. Who do I call? What do I do? I have fantasized about throwing my computer on the floor, slamming it with a hammer, etc.

PC First-Aid Kit is enlightening; not that it can hold your hand or fix your PC for you, but if you focus on the table of contents and let the frustration go, you will have your answer in a few seconds. This book is my favorite, and the softwore that comes with it is wonderful.
