Welcome to the Silver Surfer Guide

Silver Surfer Guide is the sister site of Vista Support, XP Help And Support and Windows User

Silver Surfer Guide is a website dedicated to those users who are new to computers. Lesson based this site is suitable for both young and not so young; for those who simply want to learn how their computer works or just want a refresher course.

Whether you want to know what to look for when buying your first computer, learning how to make full use of the mouse or how to interact with applications such as Windows Mail, Internet Explorer and many more useful applications supported by Windows, there is something within its pages for every novice to learn

They say "You are never too old to learn" - well strictly speaking this is quite true; it is amazing the things we learn every single day of our lives. The reason we think we can't learn is because we have no particular interest in the subject - hence why should we bother?

You arrived at this site because you have a with to either learn about how to use your computer or, alternatively, because you already know a little but want to learn more.

I have no wish to offend any visitor that already knows something about computing, but I make no apologies for starting right at the very beginning. There are thousands of people who haven't the foggiest idea how to turn a computer on let alone use one for everyday task, so the contents of this web site are for people like you.

With the information on this site you can proceed at your own pace; no one is going to tell you to "hurry up" because you are letting everyone else down. You go at our own speed and no one else's. By the time you have gone through the various lessons on this site you will, hopefully, be wiser and more proficient in the use of a computer and the software that runs on it.

There is no such thing as "being too old to learn" or not being able to "teach a dog new tricks." Think positive, work at your own pace, and even you, Yes You will master your computer.

Spend time exploring the site to see what it has to offer and most of all enjoy your journey into the fascinating world of the Computer.

Best Wishes
