Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Easy Computing for Seniors (tm): A Step-by-Step Handbook From Startup to Shutdown (Paperback)
This book is for software that is on its way out, outdated. I did not consider it a good buy for my "Introduction to Computers" beginners' class for seniors. The authors should update it to at least Windows XP. And by the way, the print is way too small for seniors!

3.0 out of 5 stars try a more general book, April 7, 2005
This review is from: Easy Computing for Seniors (tm): A Step-by-Step Handbook From Startup to Shutdown (Paperback)
The book is certainly step by step. Wood supplies a deliberately careful pace that explains a minimal set of jargon. The activities described should let you get started with your personal computer.

But perhaps you don't really need a book that caters explicitly to seniors? Consider just getting a more broadly written introductory text. Because there's very little you need to know, specifically as a senior, about computing that, say, a 20 year old person who is also new to computing does not need. [Well, ok, maybe you're not interested in ripping the latest rock tunes.]
