In addition to over 200 megabytes of mega-cool multimedia, the accompanying CD-ROM (for Windows 95 machines only) contains a virtual microcomputer, which simulates the way a real computer works in an extremely realistic manner. In addition to a wealth of technical information, myriad nuggets of trivia, and hundreds of carefully drawn illustrations, the book contains a set of lab experiments for the virtual microcomputer. If you're the slightest bit interested in the inner workings of computers, then you don't dare to miss this little beauty! |

| "For content alone I give this book a rating of 5 Geeks for "Geekness. The book also gets 5 Geeks for readability. You would almost have to have a degree in computer engineering to be bored by this book. In short, Bebop BYTES Back is a unique book that I think should be read by anyone who has ever wondered how his or her computer really works." | "A 'Must Have' for anyone from 14 to 99, Bebop BYTES Back, with its 870 pages and dazzling visuals (including hundreds of 3D graphics), shows how and why computers function the way they do. Even for the jaded, this blockbuster publication will hold many surprises." | |
