More than a 5 star book        Rating:

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.

Sure to give "Dummies" a run for their money        Rating:

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.

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!        Rating:

As a dean at a California community college, I've had the opportunity to review many introductory computer books. "For Grandmas Who Do Windows" is an excellent tutorial with a cookbook feel to it that will teach even the Luddites among us the basics of using computers. The section on Toolbars is one of the easiest to understand that I've ever read. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who has not yet joined the computer revolution.

For Grandmas (and Grandpas) Who Do Windows        Rating:

I am a Grandma who does "windows" and a lucky Grandma to now own a copy of Amy Lowentein's latest book. As a senior citizen I had a late start into this new computer age. It seems that every time I sit down at my computer, a new problem arises and I find myself saying, "If only I knew how to do this." Well, now I know how--merely by looking up the correct method in this wonderful how-to manual. It is easy to follow and understand, concise and to the point. and best of all, a fun way to learn. My congratulations and gratitude to the author.
