I made this page in order to have a good place to put lessons, links, and more for my clients. The links are ones to help seniors find useful web sites about Bowling Green, Kentucky, and also about travel sites, hobby sites, and other interesting national sites, like news sites, weather, sites, and free radio sites.

These link suggestions are ones that I personally like. There are so many great possibilities for fun and useful information on the internet. I will be putting more useful links here later on.

ABOUT THE LINKS HERE:

I use most of these links personally. Let me know if you like them. Also, please let me know about other ones that you recommend for this page. Look on the right hand side and begin at the top to find free helpful sites, like sites to help you brush up on your typing skills, for instance.

Then look on the left hand side below the navigation chart (go-to buttons) for more great links.

There are some very interesting sites on this page to help you get connected with other seniors or just explore on your own. Let me know which ones you like, or let me know if you find other ones I should add to this page.

I have my own business helping people learn their computers and software. I explain more about my business and how I help people with their computers on my tutoring page and my business pages.

The links here will help with learning your computer, computer online safety, travel, tutorials, and many other subjects. I have put links here to help you surf the web, pursue hobbies and interests, join groups, connect with other seniors, take classes, find good vacation spots, avoid mistakes, go shopping, make recipes, and more.

AARP Basic Web Lessons

The AARP lessons really look good. I am a member of AARP and I'm glad to see them doing this. See the links at the right for more great links and sites to help you learn your computer.

COMPUTER SECURITY AND PASSWORDS

IMPORTANT: you should review your computer security at all times.

PASSWORDS: It is also important to set up accounts with hard-to-hack passwords. An example of that would be a password with both letter and numbers in it. I personally make a different password for each place I go and put it in a notebook, so I don't forget it.

SECURITY FOR YOUR COMPUTER:

Do you have a firewall and an anti-virus program? You really need one of each. Some combine both in one package. If you don't have these programs, you can check them out for free before you buy them.

HERE ARE SOME FREE TRIAL DOWNLOADS of Security programs for Mac and PC computers

Norton Internet Security 07 for PC

NetBarrier free trial for Mac (Intego)

Doorstop X Firewall: requires OS X

Doorstop X Security Suite for Mac: requires OS X
