Internet and E-mail for Seniors with Windows XP: For Senior Citizens Who Want to Start Using the Internet (Computer Books for Seniors series)

Written for the beginning or intermediate computer user over the age of 50, this large-print guide introduces seniors to the World Wide Web, leads users through the basics of searching and finding information on the Internet, and describes the fundamentals of e-mail management. The world of electronic communication and connecting with other Internet users is described. Details on customizing a web browser, downloading free software suitable for use with Windows XP, and protecting against viruses are included.

Customer Review: Basic skills training
This is a good self-paced training manual, although akward to handle. The step-by-step procedures are fine for XP and Vista, and easy to understand. Just the Internet…Just the facts…simple (few right clicks offered.)
I suggest teaching the E-Mail chapters BEFORE the SEARCH chapters, for that is what the students want.
Poor quality print and paper makes the screen shots a little hard to read, but the procedure is good.
Customer Review: “really helpful”
Says my mother in law, who has tried classes and a few other books. This was her favorite.
