Welcome to this Internet site  which is designed for those of us of advancing age who nevertheless want to keep participating in and learning about life.

We are the fifty somethings or the third age. Our glasses are half full and we are often liberated (or becoming liberated) from family and work responsibilities. As such we have more time to explore the virtual world available to us over the Internet and through this to participate actively and fully in the real world.

Many of you will already be adept at using this  online medium. Others will still be learning.   This website gathers together and organises material of interest to all of us and unashamedly explains things in terms of first principles.

It provides a degree of order and helps locate relevant material with specific reference to those over the magic age of fifty, though we hope it will be of interest and value to all generations. The site is organised into topics which are listed on the right such as music or films. Just point and click (see below) on any of the images to find out about a subject. And if you want to start again just click on thet homepage link in the top right hand box.

To access this rich seam of information and entertainment just use your mouse  and point the cursor at any of the pictures down the right column or on text which looks  “like this” (incidentally a BBC Guide to using the Internet) and click the left button of your mouse twice (press down on it twice with your forefinger).

You can scroll down (really move down the page) by rolling the wheel on top of your mouse or clicking on the scroll bar over on the far right and moving it down or back up.

And don’t worry about getting it wrong. Many people even from the younger generations don’t fully appreciate the incredible technology they are using but just click away and (mostly) find what they need. When I first heard of a mouse many years ago I looked around for this small rodent and wondered what it had to do with computers!

Just think of the Internet  as a massive, massive library with books, sound recordings, videos and all manner of other material all searchable but often not very organised.

If you already are, or as you become more confident, in being a passive user searching for material over the web   please contribute your thoughts, opinions and your likes and dislikes by adding a comment on any of the topics (see below). We arepartiularly  interested in any other relevant links which we will consider adding to improve the website.

Good luck and if in doubt have a go!
