I bought this book as a gift for my sister but decided it had much more information than she would ever use so I donated it to our local library. The donation was greatly appreciated.

Summary: "a lifesaver!"
Everything's always so complicated! But Computers for Seniors for Dummies makes it easy. If you've got a senior friend who's wading tentatively into internet waters, here's a life raft that will keep them riding high on the waves.
My mother,78, had been having such a hard time trying to find her way on the internet. After many phone calls (we live in different states) with me trying to lead her from A to B, I thought i'd look for a book that would help her out. shazam! Now she's telling me a thing or two...THANK YOU!

Summary: "Excellent Resource"
This book contains any important information an inexperienced senior could need to understand and operate computers. It is easy enough for a 79 year old who has never used a computer. Yet, it also contains enough information that an experienced user could reference the book for additional information. Highly recommended.
