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.

Everything's always so complicated! But Computers for Seniors for Dummies makes it easy. If you've got a senior friend who's wading tentatively into internet waters, here's a life raft that will keep them riding high on the waves.
My mother,78, had been having such a hard time trying to find her way on the internet. After many phone calls (we live in different states) with me trying to lead her from A to B, I thought i'd look for a book that would help her out. shazam! Now she's telling me a thing or two...THANK YOU!

This book contains any important information an inexperienced senior could need to understand and operate computers. It is easy enough for a 79 year old who has never used a computer. Yet, it also contains enough information that an experienced user could reference the book for additional information. Highly recommended.

I would recommend this book to any grandmother or grandfather to help them correspond with their grandchildren. It was easy to understand and very helpful.

this is a great book for anyone that needs help running a computer. i would recommend it for seniors and the young. it is everything it advertises to be.

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.

Bought this for my hubby for Christmas to go with our new laptop. It was purchased as a joke. Actually came in handy a few times! It is well written and very easy to understand. The joke ended up on me! haha!!

transaction was speedy and accurate.

great book for those seeking answers to common questions about setting up a computer and learning the basic operating procedures.

am teaching two older friends to use a computer - the book is great - they love it and it is easy for them to follow.

I purchased this book for a friend of ours who is 73 years old. He calls us several times per week asking for computer assistance, so this book should help with that problem! Upon receipt I spent a couple of hours reading different sections and it appears to be easy to read and understand, with just enough information to not confuse those who we forget are technically challenged in today's world. I actually learned a few things myself! I think it makes a great gift, as the title is funny as well. Just be sure you explain to the "senior" that there is a whole series of "For Dummies" books and to not take it personally!
