This review is from: Internet and E-mail for Seniors with Windows XP: For Senior Citizens Who Want to Start Using the Internet (Computer Books for Seniors series) (Paperback)
Excellent text with screenshots easy to follow.
Not a deep coverage, but certainly gets seniors going. We use it as a recommended text for our seniors courses.

This is a good and simple book, easy to read and understand for seniors or any beginners for that manner. I'd recommend any of Addo Stuur books on computers. They really help me.

This review is from: Internet and E-mail for Seniors with Windows XP: For Senior Citizens Who Want to Start Using the Internet (Computer Books for Seniors series) (Paperback)
This is a good self-paced training manual, although akward to handle. The step-by-step procedures are fine for XP and Vista, and easy to understand. Just the Internet...Just the facts...simple (few right clicks offered.)
I suggest teaching the E-Mail chapters BEFORE the SEARCH chapters, for that is what the students want. Poor quality print and paper makes the screen shots a little hard to read, but the procedure is good.
