But don't give up on your PC yet--help is at hand.

These tips and tricks are served up in bite-sized portions for quick reading and even quicker fixing. Among the topics covered:
  • Windows--King of Annoyances! You'll learn how to kick Windows in the rear, get past glitches, take charge of the interface, live with the dreaded activation, and more.
  • Conquer your email, from Outlook to Eudora! Beat back spam, get inside info, avoid mailing lists, send big files, manage folders, and more, for a half dozen email programs.
  • Master Microsoft Office. From little-known right-click wonders to backing up the unbackable to automating data entry, you'll find workarounds for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Wrassle with hardware--and win! Learn to wake up your DSL, tame your notebook, shut up your PC's fan, save your data, and save paper.
  • Internet knots untied! Shake up IE, stop Flash, outsmart defaults, control Favorites, add the Google toolbar to Netscape, and more.
Plus, you get access to more than one hundred utilities that will help you squash bugs, enhance your email, untangle a system snarl, and much more.

Media reviews "Regardless of whether you're a relatively new computer user, a power user, or a longtime guru, you'll find something you didn't know in this book. And you'll probably have fun doing it."
--Thomas Duff, Portland Domino/Notes User Group, March 2004

"Bass' writing voice is informal and downright funny: He tolerates no foolish code and urges his readers to do the same. The book is punctuated with screen shots illustrating a lot of the tips, and there are sidebars full of hints, tricks and potential pitfalls."
--"Houston Chronicle," February 2004

"The style of writing used by the author is light humor. That tone is helpful, since if you are looking for a solution to a pc annoyances, your are more than likely seconds away from snapping...You've got to love the Annoyanes family/series of books from O'Reilly, and in my opinion 'PC Annoyances' is the best of the litter. If I rated books (which apparently I am about to do) on a scale of 1 to 5...I give this one 5 googolplexes."
--David Burke, Coastal Area Users Group (Texas), Febraruy 2004
