I will be teaching an elementary PC class to some really
computer-illiterate persons (firefighters) and I require an easy-to-read
introduction text to use.  I plan the course to start 'way down there with bits
& bytes, through MS-DOS, right up to elementary spreadsheets and data base
work.  The object being to educate the student enough to properly use the
computer; hopefully not destroy anyone else's work, or at least be smart
enought to know when they've done so.  I would appreciate any recommendations
that anyone has for such a text.  Email please.
