Abstract
Most health professionals have to use computers — at least some of the time. Frequently, those computers are personal computers — the generic name for the ones that are variously known as ‘IBM compatible’ or ‘IBM clones’ or just PCs. This separates them out from certain other makes such as the Apple Macintosh, the Amstrad dedicated wordprocessor, the Atari, Amiga and a number of others. This book is about PCs.
