GSP's Compendium Pack is aimed at PC novices and combines all six of the company's Windows and Office tutorials in a single box.

There's advice on using XP Home, a step-by-step guide to the internet, plus tips on the latest versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access.

While some information is a little out of date (for example, the XP disc covers Media Player 8 and Service Pack 1), the tutorials and demonstration movies are easy to follow.

GSP's approach beats wading through online help files, and we even learned some new tricks in Word. That said, it's a pretty passive experience.
