Doesn’t this look fun? Computers A to Z

The Computer from A to Z
Kalman
1999

Well, these kids sure look like they’re having a good time. Computers must be GREAT! Why on earth would you use this image for the cover of this book? Let’s make computers look as boring and frustrating as possible. Also, what the heck are those things the kids are using?

Here’s the back cover, in case you weren’t thoroughly put off the idea of computers from the cover:

At least the letters in this A to Z book stand for words that make sense. H is for hardware, L is for laptop, V is for virtual reality… (once again, X is for X – as in the letter X on your keyboard – which can be used as a “cut” shortcut.) Really, A is the most dated description in the book. Remember when there was just Apple or IBM? (Below)

P is for password. I like the description, but what are these kids doing, giving away their passwords on hand-written papers? (Couldn’t they at least have used a computer to make these signs?) I’m sorry, kid, but “art” is a horrible password.

Ok, everyone, I’m “L-is-for-logging-off” so I can check my “S-is-for-Spam.”
