Operating a personal computer requires more than just dealing with
the PC itself. As anyone with even a modicum of computer experience
can attest, there are all types of hardware devices which you must
become familiar with disk drives, printers, monitors, and sound
cards, just to name a few. And, naturally, each is fraught with its
own set of bugs and snares. PC Hardware Annoyances, the latest
installment of O'Reilly's highly successful Annoyances series, aims
to optimize these peripheral systems by offering easy fixes to
their most annoying traits. With over 40 titles to his credit,
author Stephen Bigelow identifies all those annoyances that make
you cringe in frustration. Then, through the use of snappy,
entertaining, and practical solutions, he shows you how to clear
each obstacle one step at a time. After that, the rest is up to
you. Designed for PC users of all levels, this handy guide doesn't
bore you with long dissertations on the workings of the technology
at hand. Instead, it offers straightforward, easy-to-understand
troubleshooting solutions. For maximum ease of use, PC Hardware
Annoyances is broken up into several broad hardware categories.
They include desktops, laptops and PDAs, graphics, sound, hard
drives, CD/DVD drives, network, and printers and scanners. And
while you may not use each of these accessories currently, chances
are it's only a matter of time before you'll need their
technological services whether it's for work or recreation. What
makes PC Hardware Annoyances especially timely is the growing trend
among computer owners to simply upgrade their PCs as they age,
rather than replacing them altogether. With peripheral devices
becoming increasingly affordable, there's no reason not to. But as
with any do-it-yourself project, trouble lurks around the corner if
you don't have the right guide. Having difficulty setting up your
color inkjet printer? Trying to burn a music CD? Is your modem
misbehaving? The remedy: PC Hardware Annoyances, of course!
