I am looking for a book that teaches repair, networking and any other computer things for a real beginner. I do not like the “dummies” books. I want something with a good glosarry because I don’t know much of the terminology. For instance I don’t know what a video card does, I assume it has something to do with the video. Whatever help you can offer I greatly appreciate.

Go ask an instructor in Electronics. The books on this subject are constantly changing approx. every 6 months.
I would go to a site like http://www.amazon.com/ and do a book search on “computers”. Take care to read the customer reviews of the books, and take a look through the book preview (if it is available). This is usually what I do when I am looking for a book.

Another thing I recommend, is searching the Internet. There are no doubt tons of sites about beginner topics about computers. Do searches with terms like: how computers work, computers beginner, computers how build, computer repair, etc.

One site is

I would definitely search through the Internet first. Then if you don’t think it is enough, you can also go to a local bookstore — that way you can have a closer look at the contents.
