2.0 out of 5 stars AOL proprietary?, April 11 2001

This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)

I bought this book for my mother who is just now learning to use a computer. (she's in her 60's) I had high hopes based on the description provided. My problem is that the main area she needs help with is using email. This book only deals with AOL...not anything about Outlook Express at all. I was very disapointed to learn this. I returned the book.

This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)

This book was written for senior citizens like me, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't help any beginner on the computer. Not only is it very informative and educational, it is written with humor. Ms. Lowenstein is a good teacher. I knew how to send and recieve e-mail messages and I knew how to play some games, but I was very confused and uninformed about anything else. Now I feel like a regular kid and don't have to ask my grandchildren how to do things that they do as easily as breathing. The book makes a wonderful gift, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sure to give "Dummies" a run for their money, Nov 18 2000

This review is from: For Grandmas Who Do Windows (Paperback)

This instructional manual is a must have for all computer users, grandma or not. It gives simple, easy to follow instructions for the basic things most people do with their computers. The book is well organized, comprehensive and not the slightest bit threatening to the novice user.

In addition to the basics, there are sections dealing with word processing, graphics and downloading files. It should be on every emailer's desktop. As a computer consultant, I train people to use their computers. I bought copies for my husband, his father and my two best friends.
