If computers and the Internet are a mystery to you and you keep your distance, this is the perfect pain-free introduction.

Not only does it take you through the basics, it's also been designed to show you that computers can be fun as well. You'll begin with an explanation of how to use the CD-ROM. Then it's on to mastering the mouse, ending by using your skills to guide a computer character through a Mouse Maze where it's up to you to provide your character with the key to set him free.

The course gives you plenty of opportunities to practice what you are learning, and provides clear and simple explanations of everything you need to know about computers at this level.

• The parts of a computer, including how to use the mouse and keyboard
• Software - what it is and why you need it
• Windows - what they are and how to use them
• Their uses at home and work - and how modems and telephone systems work
• The Internet, the world wide web and how to get the best from them
