Computers for dummies

[ngastra]

My parents have recently aquired a computer and have internet access. Bacially they have no clue how to use one. Mam doesnt even know how to do CAPS but Dad knows the basics. Can anyone recommend a book to help them get started.

What operating system is it? Pointless having a book about XP if it's Vista.

The Complete Idiiot's Guide to and the Dummies books are good for beginners. Have a look in the library - there should be a selection.

Loads here for free from the Internet.

I have used it many times...

Also here......http://chat.dailymail.co.uk/dailymail/forum.jsp?forum=84

That is the Daily Mail web forum where you can ask all manor of questions and someone usually pops up and answers a query.

Your own ISP usually has a facility to ask questions too.

Good luck to your parents.

I am an oldie and wouldn't be without my PC now.
