This review is from: Windows Vista for Seniors: For Senior Citizens Who Want to Start Using Computers (Computer Books for Seniors series) (Paperback)
I use this this book to teach NEWBIES who recieved Vista on their first computers. It is working very well and several have gone on to work on their own.
Only one set of commands is given, and the print quality is cheap and hard to see in the screen shots(no color). It is vital that users follow each chapter from step one to get the full benefit. Good for the money and in clear language for seniors and newbies! Hard to keep open on a desk beside the computer area.

The best thing I love about this manual is...No one talks down to a person not condascending at all. It walks a person through each step and encourages you to try things, It lets you feel pretty secure in the knowledge you won't end up blowing you or your computer into outer space. I would recommend any older adult to try this text book. In fact, I believe a youngster could get a proper, solid background in learning to use a computer wisely.

This review is from: Windows Vista for Seniors: For Senior Citizens Who Want to Start Using Computers (Computer Books for Seniors series) (Paperback)
I periodically teach a 10 week class for seniors who have never used a computer, but want to do so for email and the Internet. I have found Windows XP for Seniors and this book, Windows Vista for Seniors, to be the ideal instruction books. My class has no problem following the illustrated step-by-step instructions, and the exercises help retention of the material covered. I believe a senior could learn to use a computer, even without going to a class, by carefully following the instructions in this book. This series is the best available for seniors.
