1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated information, April 4, 2005

By	L. DeOrio "seniors teacher" (Central NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did not check the copyright date (2000) before purchasing the book, which I hoped to use as a resource in a seniors internet class that I teach. Unfortunately, this means that this information is 5 years old. On the first two pages alone, only 2 out of 10 web addresses are still valid. Not worth the price. The links that DO still work are helpful, that is the only reason for the one star.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Mother and Father Love It!, October 19, 2000

By	"andyleyton" (Phoenix AZ) - See all my reviews

I have been surfing the web for 2 years but could never convince my mom and dad to do the same. I bought them this book and after my mom looked at all the wonderful things you can do online, she now wants Web TV. The book is loaded with great sites all well organized. It was good enough to make my mom want to start surfing. Thank you Joe and Ken.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful to a Degree..., March 20, 2004

By	K. A. Stevenson "WIAPilot" (Tucson) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found several sites to be helpful in "300 Incredible Things for Seniors on the Internet," but perhaps this is a book for seniors who are just starting out?

I have been on the Internet for approximately 10 years and have found that search engines such as google.com, yahoo.com, or askjeeves.com (which the book mentions) effectively help you to discover these sites without the book. Simply type in whatever you are interested in and the various websites will be revealed.

The book is good to have as a handy reference and I will keep it close to my computer. I think this is worth the money however only if you are a beginner on the computer.
