Customer Reviews

Help the aged!!
I got "Internet for Seniors" as well as the "laptops for seniors" for my 56 year old mum who has no computer experience at all. I'd highly recommend both, they have alot of screenshots to make things clear, with little tips on things to remember and things not to forget. There are some good sites listed in the book as well such as quizzes and crossword sites that she has enjoyed going on. I got these instead of the "For Dummies" series as i wanted to avoid any Americanisms, i'm happy that i made the right choice, and mum can now happily send and recieve e mails with attachments and browse and buy things online. (she was scared to write a review though!)

Waste of time
What a load of rubbish, its enough to make you dump the computer. Its miles too hard to understand.
