Description:

If the computer age is leaving you in a cloud of silicon dust--if ROM and RAM sound vaguely zoological to you--if you think an integrated circuit is the result of years of civil rights demonstrations--if you picture Logical spaghetti as a reasonable alternative to chicken or fish--then The Cartoon Guide to the Computer is here to put you on the road to computer literacy. Book jacket.
