Description

The Wrinklies' Guide to Home Computing shows that you can teach an old dog new tricks - of the virtual kind. If you think a 'hard drive' is a journey beyond the local shop or that 'software' is something that your other half puts on before bed at night, this is the computing book for you. If 'tweeting' is a noise you associated with the dawn chorus and 'RAM' is a male sheep, then it's time to open these pages. A host of wrinkly-directed tips and advice tells you everything you need to know about buying a computer, setting it up, emailing your wrinkly chums and so much more. With this book you can work with the worldwide web, master magical movie software, select a social network and invade the internet. Catch up with the kids, make the grandchildren groan and tell the world that you might be wrinkly but you can still keep up with technical jargon.
