On this note I think a great thing to add as a centerfold to the book would be, in so many words, an "Idiot's Checklist to Common Computer Problems." It could have a simple three column chart that had the problem in column 'A', the possible causer in column 'B', and what the person should do about it in column 'C'. Example: Column A could say "computer's making a loud screeching sound," followed by column B's "Probably a case fan that needs to be replaced," proceeded by column C's "order a case fan from one of the useful hardware sites listed below and see page 73 for an explanation on how to replace your case fan."
