Computing for the Older Generation

J. Gatenby, 2002, 320 pages, illustrated. This book has been written especially for those of us who are advanced in years but still have an active and inquisitive mind, but have not previously had the opportunity to get to grips with the computers. The book is designed for the over 50's but will be equally useful to all age groups. Only clear and easy-to-understand language is used, and the larger type size makes for easy reading. This book explains how to use your PC in a number of practical and useful ways and covers amongst other things:

• Choosing and setting up your computer
• Writing letters, producing invitations, posters, etc., and other word processing jobs
• Keep track of your income and expenditure, home budgets and other spreadsheet tasks
• Keeping records of, say, addresses, cookery recipes, gardening tips etc., and other uses of a database
