Great Gift ~ Love the Title! December 27, 2008 I purchased this book for a friend of ours who is 73 years old. He calls us several times per week asking for computer assistance, so this book should help with that problem! Upon receipt I spent a couple of hours reading different sections and it appears to be easy to read and understand, with just enough information to not confuse those who we forget are technically challenged in today's world. I actually learned a few things myself! I think it makes a great gift, as the title is funny as well. Just be sure you explain to the "senior" that there is a whole series of "For Dummies" books and to not take it personally!
Computers for seniors for dummies December 22, 2008 am teaching two older friends to use a computer - the book is great - they love it and it is easy for them to follow.

I ordered computers for seniors and computers for absolute beginners. both are fine, but they still assume you know something about computers. I still want something that takes you from step one on up. both books are good, but they sometimes skip a step. I wanted something that assumes you have never touched a computer in your life.
