Summary: "Internet and E-mail for Seniors with Windows XP"

I bought this book for a Senior Computer class and answered only about 1/3 the question I came up with in class. But, opened up Pandora's box of questions, ideas, information for me to learn more about using a computer as a senior. Thanks I had fun learning a new topic at 60.

Summary: "Book was good but in additon with real pc experience"

Hello
I bought a computer for my dad and several books to get him started. It took us a while to get him used to the pc and using mainly email. We came across a great easy email, all photos and videos at one place for seniors. Famililink, I signed my dad up and now he really starts enjoying to stay in touch using the pc not only with me but also with the grandchildren. So book is good, but really using the pc and internet is as important

Summary: "Looks very good"

I have been taking several courses at our technical college and have not had time to use this book yet. It looks like it will be very helpful but I do not know as yet.
