4 out of 5 stars Computers for Senior Dummies   November 24, 2008
This book was very helpful. The material was presented in a very easy format and was easy to understand. Very helpful book.


3 out of 5 stars could have been better   November 24, 2008
I ordered computers for seniors and computers for absolute beginners. both are fine, but they still assume you know something about computers. I still want something that takes you from step one on up. both books are good, but they sometimes skip a step. I wanted something that assumes you have never touched a computer in your life.


5 out of 5 stars computers for seniors for dummies   November 18, 2008
if you are 75 and trying to deal with the computer age this book will get and keep you on the right track. the simplicity of the book was written for those of us that are starting to keep up with this new age.it's a must for anyone without any previous knowledge of computers.


5 out of 5 stars My folks think this is great   May 27, 2008
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Recently my folks started using the computer and I bought them this book to get up to speed so I could connect with them via email. I spotted this book sent it to them. Glad I did. They say its easy to understand and covers everything, with examples that make sense to those over 50 and even some interesting suggestions of Web sites to visit (which they now know how to do!). If you're older and want to tackle computers, I highly recommend this book.


5 out of 5 stars Just right for the mature crowd   May 20, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I used computers a little at work, but on retiring wanted to tap into their usefulness for keeping me connected with folks and developing my interests. This book is just right--the author respects my intelligence and tells me just what I need to know to overcome my techphobia. There's a section on working with software that gave me the basics of several useful types of programs. The Internet section not only gave me advice on how to maneuver around online but also some tips for staying safe that were much appreciate. All in all, I heartily recommend this book for those who want to get started with computers on the sunny side of 50!
