5.0 out of 5 stars The best and most "reader friendly" how-to book to date., April 5, 2000

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Senior's Guide to Easy Computing (Paperback)

Rebecca Colmer's The Senior's Guide To Easy Computing is specifically written for readers over the age of 50 who are uncomfortable and inexperienced with computers, intimatiated by computer techno-babble, and lack the confidence and skills necessary to take advantage of what their computer can offer them by way of information, entertainment, and life enriching resources. Colmer begins with the very basic information of what a personal computer is, what software is, modems, booting up, what the Internet and the Web are, what a browser is, how email works, attaching a file to email, and gives the reader clear, concise, practical answers to hundreds of other computer related questions. The Senior's Guide To Easy Computing is further enhanced for the older reader with a large print text for easier reading. The Senior's Guide To Easy Computing is quite emphatically the best and most "reader friendly" how-to introduction and guide to operating a computer for seniors published to date.

4.0 out of 5 stars A trully helpful guide for first time computer users!, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Senior's Guide to Easy Computing (Paperback)

A friend recommended this book, The Senior's Guide to Easy Computing, for my 80 year old mother who loves computers. I reviewed it and found it to be the perfect Christmas gift for her. It is very easy to read and it includes all of the basic techno jargon that she needs to remember when using her computer. It's a definite buy!

By the way, I also learned one or two things from reading it... and I consider myself computer literate!

I really was hesitant to get a computer because I was afraid I could not learn to use it. This book really helped me get started and over the fear hurdle.
