Does anyone know of a good text for a computer literacy course?
We are currently using "Concepts" by William S. Davis along
with the AppleWorks tutorials.  Next semester we are moving to
a MacIntosh based lab.  We are looking for a general concepts
book for non-computer people which is not too technical.  
The book we are using is rather dry and the students don't
seem to be getting anything out of it.   

I'm interested in any recommendations and comments on any
books for teaching computer literacy. 

thanks,
