That over half the population make up a relatively small proportion of computer users is ludicrous, as demonstrated by the argument of Rose Deakin's book. Within its pages she continues to discuss the home potential of micros, illustrated by eight case histories. Obviously intended to be confidence building and/or inspirational, these are rather leaden and some of the problems documented could even prove a disincentive! The practicalities of cracking computer jargon and getting started conclude - along with a glossary of terms -things which can only be justified if they're clearer than those found elsewhere. I didn't think they were. I had looked forward to this book but it didn't satisfy either as polemic or demystification. Its narrow concentration on the micro as business tool makes computing seem inevitably vastly expensive. Considering the topic's potential, a golden opportunity missed.
