Could someone please recommend a simple "How to"/"Dummy's Guide" that will explain to my lovely but non-technical FIL how to get the most from his computer?

[WalkinginWaynettaWonderland]

In particular uploading files to t'internet, attachments to emails etc etc.

He knows how to surf the 'net, it's just all the value-add stuff he's missing (and I don't have the patience to explain it to him again )

thank you.

Thanks.......trying again......

Which consumer guides are very good and user friendly.

Have a look here

Readers digest do a series called "How to do just about anything on your computer" - for vista, XP etc. Have a look on Amazon. They are clear, easy to use and cover basic stuff like organising photos, files, etc.

If it's for a present, have you thought about booking him onto a short Adult Education computer course? Depending on how old he is, I've seen ones aimed at pensioners; or certainly at different levels of experience. This might be another option !

Thanks guys - will investigate those.

The other alternative is to try and educate him myself, but I don't know if I have the patience (you should have seen how long it took to explain sending emails!!! )
