Friends of mine who also happen to be union activists have asked me three
reasonable questions since I explained my intention over a year ago to edit
this publication: Why cast it as a handbook? Who am I to attempt the project?
And for whom is it intended?
1. As for why I adopted a handbook format, with its focus on tips and tricks,
I offer four explanations: Because readers like you asked for it. Because I need
as much advice about computer uses as I can get. Because I have found that
really knowledgeable types are usually willing to be very helpful. And because
nothing else quite like it is available in print or on the Internet
