SAN DEGO--Right now, there are over 45 million personal computers humming away on desks and tabletops all over the country. The vast majority of those computers are used for word processing, making them nothing more than expensive typewriters. In her new book, Hundreds of Fasanating & Unique Ways fo Use Your Computer, author Tina Rathbone throws caution to the wind and explores all the untold potential uses for PCs -- from monitoring health and nutrition to exploring love and relationships. "Computers can do so much more than just number crunching and letter writing," says Rathbone. "They can bring fun and organization to all your home activities, plus suggest some new ones." Some of the computer uses explored in the book include supervising your diet and exercise regimes, learning to grow a beautiful garden, mastering a foreign language, gaining insight into your love and relationship skills, even monitoring your child's illness and well-being. Hundreds of unique and unusual software programs are presented spanning dozens of activities and interests, from astrology to car maintenance. Tina, who is currently the editor for Supercomputing Review Magazine, spends much of her spare time tracking down and writing about unusual software to help with her gardening, sewing and gourmet cooking hobbies. She even shows readers how to hunt down software--however obscure--to use in their own personal interests and hobbies.
