Synopsis:

Lists Web site descriptions under specific topics, offering suggestions for using Web resources in projects and hobbies and including self-paced tutorials on using applications and online resources. Original. (Intermediate).

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.
