Following our usual announcements and Windows/computer question and answer period, Craig German of AgeSpan, http://www.agespan.com/, gave us a presentation on AgeSpan’s various programs and services for seniors.

These services include a web site with information geared to seniors, a computer with optional touch-screen monitor and special keyboard with oversized letters, and their own dial-up Internet service provider. The latter, according to Craig, uses the Internet business backbone instead of the usual Internet backbone, the result being fewer hops to get to your Internet destination, hence faster service.
