NEW BOOK FROM OSBORNE ADDRESSES A GROWING PC MARKET: TODAY'S BUSY USER

Berkeley, CA, May 21, 1995 -- With the publication of PC's for Busy People,
Osborne/McGraw-Hill addresses an important new trend in the PC-buying and
-using public: busy users who are increasingly dependent on their PCs, but
have neither the time-nor the interest-in becoming fluent in high-tech
computer jargon. Written by David Einstein, PC's for Busy People responds
to this growing, time-strapped audience by focusing on the essentials to
ensure that readers will make the smartest use of their time at the
computer. 

PC's for Busy People is a one-stop guide to purchasing, owning, and making
the most of a PC, whether for business or home use. Written for both the
beginner who needs to get up to speed quickly, as well as the more
experienced user seeking to stay abreast of significant advancements, PC's
for Busy People begins with the basic hardware and software options, with
a focus on Windows 95 applications and the equipment that best supports
them. It also discusses the advantages of plug-and-play for integrating
printers, modems, and other add-one. Full consideration is given to the
important issues of connecting to the online community, both on the
Internet and commercial services. 

In the trademark Busy People style, this witty, full-color guide offers
advice as well as information. Organized for a quick orientation to all
aspects of PC use, PC's for Busy People presents exceptional time-saving
features including: 

* Fast Forwards: Quick reference sections that list all the essential
  tasks and features.
* Shortcuts: Accelerated routes to completing a task or solving
  a problem.
* Habits and Strategies: Time-saving tips and convenient techniques.
* Definitions: Fast, clever ways to learn and remember the jargon.
* Cautions: Known pitfalls and problems to avoid, saving readers time
  and headaches. 

According to Scott Rogers, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's executive editor,
"Although the PC has evolved into a commonplace fixture in homes and
offices, it remains an incredibly complex tool. PC's for Busy People
speaks to today's average user who probably doesn't have time to master
the complexities, but still relies on their computer to provide fast and
accurate results." 

PC's for Busy People is softcover, 304 pages, full-color, and has
illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $22.95. ISBN:
