Product Description

Product Description
This bestselling guide has been completely revised and updated, with new chapters on shopping, banking, family trees and gardening using the Internet. How to be a Silver Surfer: 2nd edition is a companion guide for people who are new to the Internet and a little apprehensive about what to do. Using simple step-by-step explanations, it will 'hand-hold' readers through the most important tasks when first using the Internet. Topics include searching the Web, sending an email and saving a favourite Web page for future reference. Aimed at the over 50s, the emphasis is on using the Internet as a tool to enrich existing interests, such as travel, fishing, aromatherapy, cooking and fumiture restoration, and as a recreational activity in itself, including on-line bridge, researching family trees, emailing family and friends, and chat sites. It can also ensure you don't miss out on good deals and last minute bargains. This book is written in a very informal, friendly, non-technical style. Full colour illustrations and screen shots with supportive text are used extensively.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect guide for the older novice, 4 Oct 2003
By John Meanwood (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought this for my Father who is over 80 years old and had never been on a computer before in his life. I gave his my old laptop as well and he uses it to do his Internet banking on, as he found that he could earn more interest this way.

This is an ideal introductory guide for older people and indeed anyone who has had little or no Internet experience. This book will get you up to speed in no time at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for us oldies, 8 Jul 2009
By S. Forecast "book novice" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was initially disappointed with the book as it assumes that you have basic knowledge of how to use a computer, however it does do exactly what it says on the tin. There are very useful hints and tips that are easy to understand

5.0 out of 5 stars Really R,R.R,Easy step-by-step Compputor Book 1 by Gavin Hoole & Cheryl Smith, 31 Mar 2009
By Ms. Margaret Carus "Puzzled" (Lancashire. England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent help to those of us who are just dipping our toes into the Computor pool. It takes away the fear of the whole subject & I find it invaluable. I will proceed onto Book 2 when I feel ready.
