> 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.

I haven't looked at a For Dummies book in years (maybe since the 90s), but I remember them having far more text to visual illustration than this.
