I you are using the Windows XP Operating System and are looking for great online source of help in simple terms, just check out:

Everything is explained with the computer novice in mind. It is free to use and there are no ads of any kind. Here are some of the topics:

"Wrong Button!", "Crash the Internet", "Desktop", "Start Menu", "Task Bar", "Understand Windows Explorer", "What's Download?", "What's a Web Browser?", "Software", "Toobars"........

You get the idea.

The Ageless Internet

If you think folks over the age of 60 are only represented on the Internet by sites like AARP and SeniorNet, think again. Many seniors have their own web pages or web logs (blogs). Check out "the Ageless Project" to visit countless entertaining and informative sites built by seniors, catagorized by year of birth.



A couple of my favorites are:

Last Quarter Game of Life (age 82)
Don to Earth (age 94)

Also of interest: Where Elders Blog

Dora's Walking Log

Some of our volunteers don't let the grass grow under their feet. One such volunteer is Dora Owens who has been active at SeniorNet for 4 years. She maintains her good health with a routine walking program that she really sticks to and logs her progress on a spreadsheet. Of course she learned how to create that spreadsheet in a class at SeniorNet of Dallas. Here's what Dora says:

"I decided to walk on Jan 26, 2004 when I was eighty years old. I do let miscellaneous reasons distract me from my routine. But the days I walk are always BETTER than the days I don't. I recommend this to anyone who can and will find time for walking. It is safe and easy to walk in my neighborhood...and besides JoLene [dog] loves it.

In 2004 and most of 2005 I was using the treadmill at Garland Senior Center. I had to sign up and wait my turn to do that. Then I got a pedometer and started walking in my neighborhood. On my route I put nine neighbors papers by their front door. They complain when I don't deliver!"

Go Dora!

How's Your Reaction Time?

How quick on the draw are you with the mouse? We're not sure this has anything to do with driving a car but if this game rates you as "Sluggish snail" or "Ambling armadillo", it might be a clue not to drive too fast.

Air Force Mouse Exercise

The object of this game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

Click once on the square at left to enter the game .......

GOOD LUCK!
