Books that proclaim the word 'Amstrad'in the title are obviously trying to tell us mere mortals that the book is written specifically for Amstrad users. Here is a book that in the whole (and there's not much of it) could have been written for any micro and probably was. This book attempts to explain the range of applications the Amstrad machines are capable of running. In furtherance of this cause, Gary Marshall covers a pot-pourri of items which in total add up to very little. The book explains what the major applications like wordprocessing, databases and spreadsheets are, and gives a guided tour in using Amsword, Database and Easi-Amscalc. Thrown into the middle of the book is a handful of programs on problem solving and then its back to talking about hardware add-ons and communications. It really is a curious little book and it contains nothing that you couldn't pick up in a good magazine (Amstrad User, of course!). It would have been more useful if the author had come clean and just written a book about computers in general. The book suffers from a desperate attempt to write 'something' about an Amstrad machine and therefore falls between being a useful book about computers and providing genuinely useful information for Amstrad users. There may be some people who will find this book of use in explaining computer terminology but it's the kind of material that is used in padding out books. Avoid this one.

Page créée en 031 millisecondes et consultée 1524 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
