    well, there's a hundred books called "blank blank for idiots"

    but I wouldn't say your sex was to blame for your troubles, I know enough guys who can't figure out a VCR or even a modern oven!

    Sunshine, I don't think your breasts are going to help you figure out your bike computer. More than likely they'll just keep mum about the whole thing.

    I don't have any breasts.
    I also don't have much tech-saavyness.

    I vote that there is no connection.

    Sigh...and I work in technology and, oh, so very often I have to explain that the presence of the boobs has no bearing on my ability to write software. Sorry, you don't blame them or your other internal organs....

    I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm too far removed to recommend a good book, but I do hear the Idiots guides are good. Don't know though....

    I'm into technology, so I can't really recommend a book. I do find though searching on google to be a good solution for most problems I find. There are tons of forums to help you out, website with frequently problems, etc. I say, try searching first!

    I'm not into technology, studying for a test which would qualify me for the technical jobs in the Telco field.

    My eyes are rolling to the back of my head on a daily basis but managed to look through the manuals and index for you.

    Nope, no mention anywhere that you need balls for the job or can't have tits.

    But keep looking into different books, some are better written than others.

    I really like the "Missing Manual" series. Doesn't assume you are an idiot or a dummy, but doesn't assume you already know everything, either.

    I have the one for Mac OS X and really like it. Plus, they have a website for further help.

    And I was just about to start a thread about blaming my spleen for my lack of common sense.
    It's only worth it if you're having fun
