> I may very well be an old curmudgeon but am I the only one who doesn't like all this comic-y cutesy content? They seem to be a rebranded version of the old `Idiot's guide to X` which were ubiquitous in the '90s.
The For Dummies series - corny jokes, mediocre cartoons, and all - are what taught me computing as a kid growing up in the '90s. So I support content like this because, empirically, it works.
