Informazioni sull'autore
The co-authors of this book met while working for ground-breaking computer magazines. Once at the cutting edge, they have long been superseded by younger rivals. The authors that is. Most of the magazines are still going strong.
Alexander Rae is a world-weary Glaswegian ex-journalist, with a wife and two violent teenagers. His age is 29, but only in hex. After years as a PR executive for a multinational industrial conglomerate, he now bluffs professionally in his own computer training, public relations and freelance writing business (he has a very short concentration span).
Rob Ainsley version 1 was a mathematics package which Oxford's tutors found never worked properly. Ainsley 2, from the mid-1980s, was a utility for teaching English in Japan, but was prone to crashing, usually in karaoke bars after being bought beer all night. In 1987 version 3 appeared, a suite of editing facilities. This went through v3.1 (8000 Plus), v3.2 (New Computer Express) and v3.3 (Classic CD, a music monthly) and had the advantage of being cheap.
In 1995 came a new on-line incarnation, Rob 4.0, handling web sites for classical music and his home town of Bath. Like Microsoft Word, the newer versions of Rob have proved expensive and overloaded with impressive but useless features. Version 5 is promised to put all these problems right, but like all new software, the release date keeps being moved back.

Dalla quarta di copertina
The truth is that everyone who talks about computers, however confident they seem at a party, is bluffing to a greater or lesser extent. Except Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, of course, who is the one person who does understand everything. But as he is a multi-billionaire, you are unlikely to meet him at a party.
The purpose of this book is to enable you to bluff to the greatest extent possible with the minimum amount of knowledge needed to impress and influence people, cunningly deployed for maximum effect.
Bluffer's Guides is a series of snappy little books containing facts, jargon, and all you need to know for instant expertise.

The Bluffer's Guide to Computers: Bluff Your Way in Computers
Da: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Codice articolo mon0000073218
