Computers-and-Seniors
 Seniors are generally "Computer Novices." The difference between "Seniors" and other computer novices, is that "Seniors" know what they want to do with their computer, from their life experience, but they are often "intimidated" by their lack of computer experience. And that is why I've created this website section called "Computers and Seniors".

Senior Discount? Why not! I'll happily request a discount, to save money! I started with McDonalds and motels, but I keep forgetting the other guys! |
I am interested in a tablet, though my laptop serves quite well, for my portability needs,however, the tablet just looks cool! With the Amazon tablet, at $199, I'm interested. I will still compare this to Apple Ipad, and other tablets, but the price is important. I currently have a Kindle, and I like e-books ok, but they are not enough. I like the Ipad, but it is too expensive! Other tablets are also pricey, so I'm still in wait and see mode.
I will continue to add categories to the Computers-and-Seniors group, and the above are just samples of this group.
Sad Story on Senior and Computer Repair click this link, and read about a senior being quoted $ 400 for a computer repair. Nobody should pay such an amount! A customer can get a complete replacement tower for less, and that would come with Windows 7, much faster processing, larger and faster hard drive, etc!
I just worked on an older computer, that was slow. My first reaction was that the computer was 5 or more years older, so it might need memory. But, then she showed me a reciept for $ 890, where a technician had "rebuilt" her computer. It had memory upgrade, a new motherboard and processor. The sad part, is that a new computer with Windows 7 would have cost her less than $ 400! I call that a major ripoff! Perhaps seniors look like targets!
