Customer Reviews

Great book for seniors

I periodically teach a 10 week class for seniors who have never used a computer, but want to do so for email and the Internet. I have found Windows XP for Seniors and this book, Windows Vista for Seniors, to be the ideal instruction books. My class has no problem following the illustrated step-by-step instructions, and the exercises help retention of the material covered. I believe a senior could learn to use a computer, even without going to a class, by carefully following the instructions in this book. This series is the best available for seniors.

Visual Steps/Windows for seniors

The visual steps books are the best computer insruction books I have ever seen.Far better than the Dummies books.These books are appropriate for anyone new to the world of computers not just seniors.The Visual Step books are written assuming the reader has no knowledge of computers and go step by step with absoloute clarity.If anyone is stuggling to master their computer they cannot afford to be without the Visual Step books.A great investment at a very modest price.

Good

Book is excellent for a beginner. It takes you by the hand and leads you thru the whole system. Also a good value for the price. Would recommend for a beginner, and even a fairly good user as a reference. Love the book.

Well titled, great format

Bought this for my 80+ mother who finally got her own computer and thanks to this book she is confidently moving ahead and trying everything. I've used the "Dummies" and "Idiot" books for years but I think I will switch to this series for myself in the future.

Vista for Seniors

My wife,over 80,never used my desktop computer. We bought her a new laptop and she is learning more than I know about computers. When she finishes it she will be teaching me.
