5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliantly simple!,
By Bruce S. Feldman (Sarasota, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)
I was one of those senior citizens who was sure I was born a generation (maybe two!)too early to learn how to use a computer. I was wrong. A friend told me about Amy Lowenstein's book and, like the cover of the book says, "If you can bake a cake you can work a computer". You don't have to know how an oven works, only which buttons and dials to work and how to read the settings.There is no technical language, no graphs to decipher. Just simple down-to-earth language that had me sending e-mail to my children and grandchildren the same afternoon I picked up For Grandmas Who Do Windows.That was about 3 weeks ago. Now, in addition to e-mail, I can play solitaire, backgammon and a few other games. I can write down some of the brilliant(?) thoughts that a lot of we folks over 65 think we have and I can even browse the Internet for the latest news, football scores and (would you believe) I even did some research for one of the grandchildren in the family who is attending college on the other side of the United States. I send it by e-mail. What a thrill. To be able to participate in the computer age is a blessing. I don't know how many little people are running around inside the computer to make it work. Amy Lowenstein's book says I don't have to know that. What I do know is that her book is a boon to everyone of my generation who can certainly learn to work a computer as easy as falling off a log..

Sure to give "Dummies" a run for their money,
By Robbie Kaplan (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)
This instructional manual is a must have for all computer users, grandma or not. It gives simple, easy to follow instructions for the basic things most people do with their computers. The book is well organized, comprehensive and not the slightest bit threatening to the novice user.In addition to the basics, there are sections dealing with word processing, graphics and downloading files. It should be on every emailer's desktop. As a computer consultant, I train people to use their computers. I bought copies for my husband, his father and my two best friends.

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!,
By Juan Vazquez (Alameda, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)
As a dean at a California community college, I've had the opportunity to review many introductory computer books. "For Grandmas Who Do Windows" is an excellent tutorial with a cookbook feel to it that will teach even the Luddites among us the basics of using computers. The section on Toolbars is one of the easiest to understand that I've ever read. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who has not yet joined the computer revolution.
