From the Author
I have written this book for those computer users have been able to send a basic email and conduct a simple search of the Internet. The first book, Computing for the Older and Wiser, was written with the complete beginner in mind while this book takes the reader from the late beginner stage to intermediate computing skills. The same successful format is used with plenty of full colour explanatory screenshots, short chapter summaries and a revision quiz at the end of each chapter. The book is based on my 15 years experience of teaching the older generation how to use their home computers in private lessons, with Age Concern and the University of the Third Age. The content has, in many cases, been suggested by my many pupils.
