Computers for Seniors - The Video Guide to
E-mail & the Internet (2002)
We have kept the "technical terminology" to a minimum
with no explanation of the computers' "internal organs." Who needs it?
Certainly not a beginner. Only those terms essential to learning the
computer are used-and are explained in detail for the utmost interest
and assimilation. Apart from using the mouse, much of the video is
useful for knowledgeable computer-users, as well. For example, we show
step-by-step, how to copy floppies, create shortcuts, and format disks,
as well as checking the status of your hard drive.
