Berkeley, CA, March 29, 1996--With all the recent hoopla, it is easy to
forget that Windows 95 is supposed to make life easier for its users, not
harder. BYTE Guide to Optimizing Windows 95, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's latest
release in its BYTE series of books, provides the insights, information,
and attitude necessary to reverse this power struggle, leaving users
firmly in control of their systems. 

Written by computer aficionado Lenny Bailes, along with Charles Bermant,
Craig Menefee, and John Heilborn, BYTE Guide to Optimizing Windows 95 is a
lively guide filled with useful tips, tricks, and techniques for
maximizing Windows 95's potential. Readers will find fresh solutions and
optimizing shortcuts as well as slick tips and expert advice on: 

* Installing Windows 95 
* The Internet 
* Multimedia 
* Handling old Windows and DOS applications 
* Networking with Windows

In a departure from other Windows 95 books, BYTE Guide to Optimizing
Windows 95 provides useful hardware-related advice and information. There
are lucid explanations of hardware standards, and a consumer guide to
shopping for Windows 95-compatible systems and peripherals. Readers will I
also find plenty of discussion on important issues such as third-party
products for Windows 95 hardware configuration, networking, and
telecommunications, written with the authority and insight expected in a
BYTE guide.

read. An ideal guide and handy reference, BYTE Guide to Optimizing Windows
95 is the source users will turn to again and again as they power up
Windows 95 to meet their demanding standards.
