Computer Tip of the Week

Greetings!
Penny Postcards
Old pictures of your state

A friend forwarded an interesting e-mail to me last week. It's called Penny Postcards and it's on the USGenWeb Archives website. This is a genealogy website and I have done lots of genealogy research on it. This feature, however, lets you choose your state, your county, and in some cases, your old hometown.

Click this link to go to their website. First click on your state, then your county, and scroll down to see if your hometown is there. If so, click on it. A page of postcards with scenes from long ago will appear. If you want to see the picture in a larger size, click on the picture. I printed several of the pictures to put in my genealogy material. Really cool!

Remember, from now until Dec. 31, 2007, you can order my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond, and not pay shipping. That's a $4.50 savings. There are discounts for 5 or 10 copies or a while case of 26. Click here to check it out.

Do you have friends or family who would find this tip helpful? Please click on the link below, Forward email to a friend!, and send it to them. They're also welcome to sign up for my monthly newsletter as well as the Tip of the Week. Thanks for sharing.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
