[LM_NET] GEN: computer book suggestion for parent-- help!

[Kim Thatcher <kimkat2005@GMAIL.COM>]

Hello,

I know this is a little OT, but I am trying to help my 55-65 y.o. parents
who just got a computer with intenet. They never used a computer! Well, my
mom last used a computer the size of her office...

anyway, I am trying to help mom and she is not the best student right now,
and my stepdad has a computer in his store now but he knows how to turn it
on and off. I wanted to get them some books to supplement this endeavor and
everything I have seen is over their head, they will not go to classes at
the library, and many books for their level depict stereotypical seniors on
the cover that I know would be a turn-off


does anyone have any suggestions???

Thank you!
