ONLINE SAFETY FOR SENIORS info
The link below is an online information booklet from the U.K. senior citizen charity Age U.K.
It's a nice simple and easy to understand guide which covers various aspects of online safety and precautions.
It can be read online, and or downloaded and saved for reading offline in the form of a PDF format document file. Most computers will already have a software program which can open and display such files, but if yours doesn't, or if you don't like the one that you have a well regarded, safe, simple, and small sized program called Sumatra PDF, I'll post the links for that below.
This is the booklet.

Age U.K. also provides a range of products and services and information booklets about a whole range of topics.

Re: ONLINE SAFETY FOR SENIORS info
Thanks for that Marian
I thought SUMATRA was the place I wrote about in The Voyage to The Spice Islands in Seafaring Stories thread in Swinging the Lamp Forum
where we were Bombed by the Rebels and witnessed an execution or two.
and where I left my old mate Charlie Kakatoa in a bar in exchange for a bottle of Javanese Brandy. and I felt like a Judas after.
Thanks for the memory
Cheers
Brian
