Paul Harvey was right
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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 would recommend it to anybody. Thank you, Mr. Modem. Please write more books.
The Ultimate Internet Guide

If you or anyone you care about is reluctant or afraid to get connected to the Internet because it seems complicated and time-consuming or because you think you can't teach an old pup new tricks, you should get connected to "Mr. Modem's Internet Guide for Seniors" first. Clear, concise, and all-encompassing, this guide anticipates a learner's questions, allays technical fears, and proceeds in an orderly way to cover what it takes to get up and running on the Internet. Best of all, Mr. Modem keeps it simple, safe, satisfying, and fun for those who did not get to attend Internet classes in a previous life. You can move through the chapters at your own pace and, in some cases, in your own sequence. Although I have been surfing the Internet for a while, I found many useful tips, new links, and great sites in this guide. If I could have only one Internet guide in my life, Mr. Modem's guide would be that one.Good work, Mr. Modem!

Computer Consultant uses this for Senior clients
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am an independent computer consultant who began in the industry with IBM 40 + years ago. I now help clients to buy, set up and learn how to enjoy their computers. Because of my age, most of my clients are seniors and many of them, getting their first computer, have as their primary goal, learning how to use the Internet. I reviewed the book myself, thought it to be very helpful and have ordered a number more for my clients. It is the first book of its kind, written with a sense of humor and a level of simplicity that most seniors can quickly grasp. Susan
Excellent book. Everything an Internet user needs to know.

With a touch of humor, the author takes the mystery out of subjects such as purchasing a computer, getting online, and surfing the Web.The book begins with an introduction to the Internet, then traces a musical history of the Internet, provides tips on buying a computer, and going online for the first time. There are chapters on e-mail, newsgroups, and tips and tricks for using both Netscape and Internet Explorer. WebTV is also covered, as well as the Imac computer. The book is full of humor, helpful hints, and fun trivia is interspersed throughout the book.
