    Wonderfully useful for my Mom

    I bought this book for my 78 year old mom, who just purchased a netbook... her very first attempt to delve into the world of computers. She has never, and I mean NEVER, laid her hands on a computer before (never wanted to). Now that all of her tech savvy friends want to start emailing her, she's decided it's time. This book has been such a wonderful help for her. She calls me, almost daily, to let me know what new task she learned. This week, she's determined to learn how to create a spreadsheet. She's even mentioned opening a Facebook account! I, most definitely, recommend this book for anyone, not just seniors, who is intimidated by the thought of learning computers.
