Compared to only a few years ago, computers today are cheap, reliable and so easy to use – and they can be used for so many purposes. Writing letters, surfing the world wide web and communicating by e-mail have been the three most common uses for some time, and are now closely followed by ‘digital image activities’ – storing, editing and printing pictures from digital cameras, and storing and editing digital video movies. But people also use their computers for creating family histories, running the household accounts, managing their share portfolios, doing the shopping, producing programmes for their societies’ concerts or club newsletters, and much more besides. Brilliant Basic Computing for the over 50s won’t show you how to do all of these things, but it will give you a good grounding in the essentials, enabling you to tackle new activities with confidence. And it will do this through clear step-by-step guides, with expert tips and trouble-shooters to help you through the trickier parts.

I had a unfathomable problem with my computer I had contacted my IP Tech Dept but what they told me was Chinese as far as I was concerned so I went to Amazon and found Computing for the Over 50`s. With it`s non Tech approach I worked out what my IP Techs had told me and solved the problem.

I brought this for my Dad who at 70 has just purchased his first laptop. He has found it very helpful although I still get the occasional phonecall asking for help!
