Amazon.com Review
Just because this may be the best Web guide for those over 55, don't make the mistake of thinking it isn't just as great for everyone else. It's full of humor and good sense about computing, playing on the net, kicking back, and living life. Only a small percentage of the sites and resources noted are specifically for seniors--and they're first rate. They deal with such topics as retirement and starting new careers, finding more convenient homes, seniors' organizations, information services, government resources and senior health issues. The rest are for everyone who continues to age but refuses to grow old. Trust Eugenia Johnson (known to her online fans as "Tin Lizzie") to lead you to fascinating historic sites covering Mayan civilization, witch hunts around the world, and Vikings. Find sources on saving, investing, and making money, and information on great food, gardening, health care, music, buying and selling a home, dance, sports, science and more. Lizzie also offers tips on everything from replacing a monitor to the "best-ever" recipe for a Ramos Gin Fizz. If you're old enough to read, you're senior enough to find a lot of fun in this collection. Included is a CD-ROM featuring hyperlinks to all the sites mentioned in the book, plus the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser.

This book HAS to be the ultimate handbook for us Oldies....it is chockablock with helpful ideas, whimsical articles, quotes and messages....AND is full of of sites to visit! AND...it is all on the accompanying CD as well, so that you can investigate a likely link as fancy takes you....it's illustrated, signposted,entertaining....and instructive without a trace of `Talking Down'....it actually includes Microsoft Explorer, Lycos Search Engine- AND an excellent Web-Server, so that Newbies can log on and learn right here!
The list price is U.S $29.99, and Canada $42.95, but Amazon prices are discounted enough that the extra for postage is usually covered!
I think I'm in love.......with a BOOK!!
