Foundation Audio Book

Guys, I used to have the Foundation series of books on Audio book, with one exception Foundation and Earth, the last book in the series, Im sure I saw it advertised in the US, but I have nt seen it available here in the UK. Have checked the online book stores with no success... does anybody actually know if this audio book is actually available, better still if anyone has a copy, i'd be happy to pay for a pirate. Cheers

you could try asking for it in the ' want it now ' section of eBay.........or even on their USA site

I am in my 50’s and I think like many of us have a good, “Bits and Pieces” understanding; however I would like to build a good foundation, and from that move to the next level, and them the final level would be, a good solid working/understanding knowledge of Computers and the Internet. Not knowing everything but having the foundation to learn new technology as it becomes available.

What I would like to do is look at the learning process in three parts, 1- Computer basics, hardware/ how the computer works/basic internet/networking, 2- upgrading and add-ons, understanding/knowing what you may want and why. 3-Advanced understanding and trouble-shooting, internet, torrents, packets, up-stream/down stream speed, understanding and use of different audio/video etc…
What books, etc, do you recommendation for: 1- Basic, 2 – Intermediate, and 3 – Advanced

These are just my general thoughts, If you know a good systematic way to approach the learnin please suggest that also.

T.Y.

Glad to hear you're not afraid to learn.

The "...for Dummies" books are preferred by some and disliked by others.

A lot of times, hands-on learning is best for first starting out then reading books as you go along. Once you gain some hands-on knowledge, the reading material makes more sense.

I'm sorry I don't have any specific books to suggest other that what I mentioned above, perhaps someone else can give you that answer.

My alternate suggestions are:

1) Check out free or low-cost classes at your local community library; some even have classes for older adults only.

2) Your local community college may have continuing education classes, generally low cost, for those new to computers or MS Office software.

Considering you got on the internet to enter your answer, you are at least somewhat familiar with using a PC and comfortable with some level of internet use.

Best of luck.

Unlike my parents, who were born well before the Great Depression and lived through the full brunt of it, he was sufficiently unscathed to become an ignorant Republican and set the stage for another one.
