We all have a knack of knowing a 'good thing' when we see it! I purchased 'Windows XP and More Windows XP' SENIORS. I also bought Windows XP For Dummies which is good, a little more technical and I started hating the () = COVERED IN CHAPTER. So you have to mark where you are just to find info that is somewhere else in the book. SENIOR books: large print, pictures showing 'how to', little tests, to check comprehension, with page numbers to locate the answer if you don't remember... No matter what your age, if you can read and want to get started (or refresh) on a computer, you will not go wrong with these ‘Senior’ books. To whatever age...”
- M. Harding
“Windows XP for Seniors is a "must have" even if you are not a senior. It is very easy to follow and covers almost every facet of computer know-how, except the most sophisticated. I couldn't do without it!”
- B. Bass
“I was given the XP Book for Seniors. I have never seen such a detailed book that isn't written too far above our heads (techie talk). I teach beginning computers at a local community center and show my book to each student and recommend they get it. Thanks for all your hard work.”
- Shirley Arp
“
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is learning the computer. I am impressed at the method of instruction and the testing follow up. This is a "win-win" book. ” - S. Dikoff“I work with a team of volunteer computer instructors at the Seniors Association in Kingston, Canada. Our courses cover basic home computing and digital photography. Most of our students are older people who didn't have a chance to learn about computers when they were younger. (Well... let's be honest, none of us oldies did!) They come to our classroom motivated to learn, but sometimes anxious as well, fearing it will be too difficult. Often they've been buffaloed by the children in their families, whose easy familiarity with consumer electronics is unimaginable to them.
For years we've been looking for supportive textbooks that match this style of teaching. When Addo Stuur's books were published in Canada last year (2005), we felt we had found what we needed. We now use Windows XP for Seniors in our beginning courses, mainly as a source of homework assignments. We cover each topic in class, hands-on. Then, when the students get home, Addo takes them through the same topic, step by step, with a picture of the screen after each step. He avoids mentioning extraneous facts not necessary to the reader's immediate success. He also recognizes that everyone will forget things as they progress, so the books contain reminders of where to go to re-read things that might have slipped from memory. As well, each chapter tells you what to do if anything doesn't work as you expect. There are other pictorial teach-yourself books that look PRETTIER than this one. They're printed in colour and therefore they cost more. But for beginners who are seniors, I can confidently give a confident recommendation for Windows XP for Seniors. ” - B. Martin, computer and photography instructor in Kingston, Ontario, Canada Visual StepsWindows XP for Seniors is based on the acclaimed Visual Steps method. This method features the following:
