Editorial Review:
Leo Laporte is TV and radio's most recognized and prolific technology personality, best known for his humor, wit and ability to teach both newcomers and grizzled PC veterans. In Leo Laporte's 2006 Technology Almanac, Leo provides a year's worth of anecdotes, tips, factoids, and musings about the machines at the center of your life.
A page is devoted to each day of the year, and each page includes several elements: typically a single-topic essay that takes up most of the page (on subjects as varied as ergonomics, Easter eggs in popular programs, processor overclocking, and discount-travel Web sites), and hints, tips, references to worthwhile software, and goofy trivia.

Rating:  - Leo Laporte for president
I read the book from cover to cover. I have all of Leo Laporte's books, listen to his podcast This Week in Tech (TWiT), and watch his cable TV show.
Rating: - Leo Laporte is Amazing!
I wish he would have produced a book for 2007 and 2008, because Leo Laporte is a wealth of knowledge. Even though this book is a year old, I still find it a good source of information.
Rating:  - Disapointing
The author is on an ego trip trying to be entertaining.
I wanted a reference book to assist me in understanding new computer technology and its applications; this book is a total failure re that objective.
There is no glossary or index to find anything.
