You'd probably be able to find something on www.howstuffworks.com

As for books.. you'd probably find something in your local Easons. Last time I was in there in Cork there were a few books like introduction to computers, intro to the internet things like that.. might be a bit basic for you but between Easons and Waterstones youre bound to find something.

I send Barry @ pcirl.com a link to this. I am sure he will put together something that you are looking for.

Did you check out his acronyms?

The concept is similar to boards, but we are a little more accomodating towards beginners.

Can't say I agree with that, plenty of beginners posting their problems here, getting solutions, and there is a huge archive of previous threads to search.
