About the Author
Sandy Berger is seen and heard everywhere these days: in her Compu-KISS newsletter, on her radio program, in her newspaper column, in her three books, and on the Internet and by fans from around the globe. And although she is the host of the Computers and Technology section of the AARP web site, a far broader age group seeks her opinions. It's the universal appeal that put Sandy in Parade Magazine and on the Today Show. Dubbed "the Martha Stewart of e-learning," Sandy is knowledgeable, likable, and has a way with people. The New York Times placed her in the top five most influential people in e-learning.

Great Age Guide to the Internet,
By
This review is from: Great Age Guide to the Internet (Paperback)
Great book! Easy to read, very well organized, answers all your "dumb" questions that your kids are too impatient to deal with! The "Sandy's Tips" and "Blooper Alerts" are worth the price of the book all by themselves -- fount of info.

Surfing the Internet made easy,
This review is from: Great Age Guide to the Internet (Paperback)
I have read several of Sandy's books over the years and I continue to enjoy everything that she writes. Great Age Guide to the Internet is no exception. Sandy's ease with words makes this book a pleasure to read and is so full of information. If you don't know how to get around on the Internet, or only know a little, read this book. Sandy will show you everything you need to know.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Guide Book,
This review is from: Great Age Guide to the Internet (Paperback)
There is a lot more to the Internet than e-mail and Web sites. It can be an oasis of information and communication. It can also be a mine field filled with the wrong information and questionable people who want to take advantage of you. Sandy's book lays out the full spectrum of the good and the bad that's available through the Internet and e-mail. The information in this book will go far to keep me safe and expand my skills to get the most of what is good out there in cyberspace. I plan on keeping it right next to my computer.
