1-0 out of 5 stars Outdated information
I did not check the copyright date (2000) before purchasing the book, which I hoped to use as a resource in a seniors internet class that I teach. Unfortunately, this means that this information is 5 years old. On the first two pages alone, only 2 out of 10 web addresses are still valid. Not worth the price. The links that DO still work are helpful, that is the only reason for the one star.

3-0 out of 5 stars Helpful to a Degree...
I found several sites to be helpful in "300 Incredible Things for Seniors on the Internet," but perhaps this is a book for seniors who are just starting out? 5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative
My husband and I always turn to this book while on the internet. When ever we want to explore the internet, we just open the book. There are so many quality web sites it will take months to visit them all. I love the game section and have found many fun crossword puzzle sites. My husband likes the travel and military sites. I plan on buying more for friends. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The best and most "reader friendly" how-to book to date.
Rebecca Colmer's The Senior's Guide To Easy Computing is specifically written for readers over the age of 50 who are uncomfortable and inexperienced with computers, intimatiated by computer techno-babble, andlack the confidence and skills necessary to take advantage of what theircomputer can offer them by way of information, entertainment, and lifeenriching resources. Colmer begins with the very basic information of whata personal computer is, what software is, modems, booting up, what theInternet and the Web are, what a browser is, how email works, attaching afile to email, and gives the reader clear, concise, practical answers tohundreds of other computer related questions. The Senior's Guide To EasyComputing is further enhanced for the older reader with a large print textfor easier reading. The Senior's Guide To Easy Computing is quiteemphatically the best and most "reader friendly" how-tointroduction and guide to operating a computer for seniors published todate.

I really was hesitant to get a computer because I was afraid I could not learn to use it.This book really helped me get started and over the fearhurdle.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great gift for dad/mom/grandparent... (you get the idea)
I bought this book as a holiday gift for my dad (who has always been a bit stymied by his desktop computer) -- he dove right into it & didn't speak to any of us for a couple of hours, so judging by that reaction, I'd have to guess that it was pretty readable for your average intelligent-but-techno-naive senior.Mr. Modem covers a lot of ground (how to get online with an ISP, how to use a search engine, etc.) without going too deeply into any particular topic.Instead, the book gives lots of URLs and places for the neo-surfer to try out his new skills.Hey, maybe Dad will even get the hang of Amazon.com soon ;-)

5-0 out of 5 stars Go Mr. Modem!
This is a great book for people intimidated by the Internet. Information is presented in a fun and friendly fashion. Nice work, Mr. Modem!

5-0 out of 5 stars Paul Harvey was right
I read the reviews then bought Mr. Modem's book. Paul Harvey was right. This IS the book that takes the gobbledygook out of computers.I'm 72 years old. This book was fun, easy-to-read, and helped me greatly. I wouldrecommend it to anybody. Thank you, Mr. Modem. Please write more books. ... Read more

This is part of a series of books dedicated to seniors, on various topics. But I have serious reservations about the utility of this book. A senior might even consider it somewhat patronising.

2-0 out of 5 stars too restrictive
I am not convinced that there is a need for such a book as this. Much of what it discusses is germane to any adult, or even a smart kid, who uses the Internet. These days, isn't that most of us? Sure, it certainly is good to know about malware attacks on your computer. Or email that has spam, especially including scams like phishing. But just as those attacks tend to be done incriminately, so too are the countermeasures relevant to all.

Editorial Review

Just because this may be the best Web guide for those over 55, don't make the mistake of thinking it isn't just as great for everyone else. It's full of humor and good sense about computing, playing on the net, kicking back, and living life. Only a small percentage of the sites and resources noted are specifically for seniors--and they're first rate. They deal with such topics as retirement and starting new careers, finding more convenient homes, seniors' organizations, information services, government resources and senior health issues. The rest are for everyone who continues to age but refuses to grow old. Trust Eugenia Johnson (known to her online fans as "Tin Lizzie") to lead you to fascinating historic sites covering Mayan civilization, witch hunts around the world, and Vikings. Find sources on saving, investing, and making money, and information on great food, gardening, health care, music, buying and selling a home, dance, sports, science and more. Lizzie also offers tips on everything from replacing a monitor to the "best-ever" recipe for a Ramos Gin Fizz. If you're old enough to read, you're senior enough to find a lot of fun in this collection. Included is a CD-ROM featuring hyperlinks to all the sites mentioned in the book, plus the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Love At First Click
Times have changed and so should online free personals. Some match making sites are re-inventing the free personal ads business using new technologies that are a breakthrough in the online dating singles market. I found this book to be current with this new trend. After reading it I developed the courage to place an ad at one of these single online dating sites found on the net, Love At First Click, otherwise known as loveatfirstclick.com. The book gave me the much needed skills to sort, search and find romance and excitement. The book and the effectiveness of loveatfirstclick.com will help you find a community featuring sincere and honest single individuals that are looking for other like-minded people that are quite eager in meeting their match in this fun world of online free personals. It helped me meet plenty of hot women. I'd recommmend this book, and Loveatfirstclick.com too!!

2-0 out of 5 stars Good horror stories
Of the five books I bought about Internet dating, I ranked this one four or five.It has the word "online" on the cover, but it seemed to me that most of the material and experience was "pre-Internet", i.e., personal ads in newspapers and that "online" was added to make the book seem current.That said, however, it did have some good horror stories to serve as a warning of what could happen with personal ad/Internet dating.

5-0 out of 5 stars Intelligent guide to the Personals - in print and online
This smart book is about the challenge of being over fifty - and of writing a good Personal Ad: one that accomplishes your goal - of ultimately meeting prospective dates, and mates. The author's focus on age fifty and over is sensible, too. She assumes (not unreasonably)that middleaged singles are serious about finding a partner, know themselves reasonably well, and can put this self-knowledge to good use in the writing of a good ad.Read more

Everyone keeps asking me for samples (free samples, of course) to give toall their 50 year old friends. This book must have an appeal. Actually youcan find all the sites in the book yourself especially if your time isworth, say 9 cents a minute. But for locating almost a thousand sites onevery possible subject of interst to 50 year olds this book is unbeatable.I use it myself to quickly find travel sites and weather sites and sportand financial sites that I don't use too often and need to locate quickly.The book is an inexpensive and well received gift. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars This book brings seniors online in no time!
I found the internet 5 years ago and fell in love with everything it had to offer. I guess I must have talked about it often as one night my mother called and asked if I could explain the internet to her. She lives 3000 miles away, so explaining over the phone was an obstacle to say the least! I was so excited over the fact that she was considering going online as since my dad died her world was getting smaller and smaller. I searched the internet for days to find just the right book for her. I was rewarded when I found Internet In an Hour for Seniors. I sent the book FedEx to my mother and she called me as soon as she received it. She told me that she could not believe just how easy the internet seemed. We talked everynight for a week until she felt comfortable with going online. I will never forget the first night I received an email from her. It brought tears to my eyes as I read it and made me smile at the way my mother was coming into the world of the internet. Because of this book, her world is no longer limited to what she can see from her back door. She even has email pals now from different states and is going to start a group with the Senior Citizens home and the local schools to send cards for every holiday and every birthday. This book opened a new world to her. If it was not wrtten so well she would never have even attempted to go online. This book never talks down to the reader, but instead gently leads them step by step to the world of the internet. ... Read more
